I bought a cheap Peugeot 206 around 6 years ago. 85k miles later the only major issue has been the clutch which I replaced. The electrics are pretty terrible as well, but mechanically it’s been a very solid car. To my shame I haven’t serviced it once in that entire time as well, surprised it’s still going tbh but shows not all French cars are terrible!
