Which of these C5 X7's is the best option?
I have been interested to buy a Citroen C5 X7 tourer. There are primarly two which are interesting to me. One is a 1.6 HDiF with 207240 Km from 2010 which costs 2415 euros. The other is a 2.0 HDiF with 238120 Km from 2008 which costs 3131 euros. The cars looks to be in similar condition exept for the distance they have traveled.
Any help is appreciated since I am trying to learn as much as i can about the Citroen C5 X7.

If budget allows, the 2.0 HDi is generally the better, more robust choice for the Citroën C5 X7 Tourer, especially for mixed or highway use. The 1.6 is only for light, city driving or if you are on a strict budget. I got a 2.0 HDi with similar KM, and it needs some maintenance. I changed the spheres, brakes, silent blocks, and drive shafts. Now I’m also going to have the automatic transmission flushed and start to work on the body and interiors. I want it as brand new

I wouldn’t be too strict about the mileage. You should check the service record to see if maintenance has been done. In that mileage range, all cars need major maintenance, such as the timing belt and sphere.

Important things to check include the wipers work and the steering rack is not leaking where the column joins it and where the fluid pipes join.
