Character

TU3 1.4

"15 million TU engines made. Simple cast iron block. Timing belt (not chain). Head gasket can fail on very old units. Incredibly cheap to maintain. 206/207/C3 workhorse. Over-engineered for what it does."

DV5 BlueHDi

"308/3008/C4/Berlingo. Replaced DV6. AdBlue/SCR system. DPF standard. Improved over DV6 but still diesel = city driving concern. Highway use: excellent economy and reliability."
