Citroen car finance

The Citroen dates back to 1919 when André Citroen set out on an adventure, being the first to achieve commercial success for a front- drive car, the Citroen Traction Avant. Over a century later, Citroen is still a favourite brand of choice on British roads.

Today, the brand is known for its reliability and distinctive designs with many models featuring economical diesel engines, making this popular French car brand a great choice for car finance. Although Citroen’s are great cars, we want to help you to find your perfect vehicle, whatever make and model that might be.

To be eligible for Citroen car finance you’ll need to meet the pre-application criteria which includes being between the age of 21 to 65, earning more than £1,000 per month (after tax) and being able to prove your identity and address. You must also have a bank account that accepts direct debits. When choosing your Citroen vehicle, you’ll need to ensure you’re buying the car from a reputable dealer, has a mileage under 120,000 and that the car is less than 12 years old.

If you qualify for car finance, we’ll offer a conditional sale agreement – which means you’ll have full use of the car, but Moneybarn are still the legal owners. Once all repayments have been made you’ll become the legal owner of the car.
