IMHO it's been superb.
In 2005 I was finally in a position to buy a new Multispace after a few years of looking at them (I have a history of Citroens). By that time they had updated to a 1.6Hdi but I was suspicious so ended up buying my car used from a Citroen dealer. Hindsight would suggest I was right, the 2.0Hdi is less complicated.
It's on 120,000 now and has had a hard life including long drags to SW France, towing of trailers and caravans, use as Dad's taxi ferrying my kids around and 3 years of sporadic local use on short journeys. Latest use was as a microcamper with a small motorcycle hanging off the back. It still seems to run as well as it ever did.
My son was 12 when I bought it, he now lives in Aus and uses it when visiting the UK with his wife.
I did have plans to change it for a B9 just to get an opening tailgate window but put that on hold. It owes me nothing and it is really a family member. Not sure if I'd have got away with a 1.6.
