I'm just about going through with buying the cheapest C5X that I could find. The previous owner has got 70,000 miles out of the 1.2l puretech in 2 years so has obviously enjoyed driving it and left me to get the cam belt replaced.
Can someone on the forum please help me with the service intervals for this car? It may help to persuade the dealer to do the work and hopefully the previous owner has kept to schedule just in case I need the extended engine warranty.

Re: C5X Cam Belt Interval
The belt internal on these is now 64k, with tensioners etc changed at every second belt change (i.e. 128k, 256k...). So it wants doing at 70k - I would only buy this if it has been maintained to the tee, and it's cheap!
