"Depreciation disaster and will never buy another Peugeot again"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replacement ECU when I purchased the car at 47,000 miles.

Rot/Rust around the rocker cover.

Poor electrical wiring.

Fog light blew.

Head gasket blew at 56,000 miles.

General comments?

The Peugeot is a fun, sexy looking and excellent car to drive - when it works.

Interior design is very nice and comfortable and the features which come with the Meridian, such as electric windows & mirrors, air conditioning and central locking are also excellent.

However, the 1.4 engine is poorly built and the electrics appear to have been wired by a blind Frenchman.

Very costly to repair (£1000+ for ECU, £500 for head gasket) in comparison to the value of the car.

In comparison to the value of the car (£3000.00), it was very costly to repair (£1000+ for ECU, £500 for head gasket). Did consider cutting my losses and torching it at one point…
