Used Citroen Ami for sale in Europe

About the Citroen Ami

The name Citroën Ami covers two very different cars. The modern Ami is a small two-seat electric quadricycle introduced in 2020. It is built for short urban trips and has a top speed limited to 45 km/h, so it is not meant for main roads or motorways. It suits city use and short local journeys.

The modern Ami has a 5.5 kWh battery and charges from a household socket. Its body uses a small number of simple panels, and the doors are the same shape on both sides. Versions include the standard passenger car, a cargo version with a load area in place of the passenger seat, and a Buggy with a more open look.

Our listings also include the classic Ami, a family car that Citroën built from 1961 to 1978 on a platform related to the 2CV. It came as a saloon and an estate (Break), with air-cooled petrol engines. These cars suit enthusiasts and are usually bought as classics rather than for daily transport.

Generations

• Ami 6 (1961-1969) — The first Ami used a 2CV-based platform and an air-cooled flat-twin petrol engine, with an estate version added in the mid-1960s.
• Ami 8 (1969-1978) — The Ami 8 brought a restyled body with a more conventional rear end, in saloon and estate forms.
• Ami Super (1973-1976) — The Ami Super carried a larger air-cooled four-cylinder engine of about 1.0 litres, taken from the Citroën GS.
• Ami electric (2020-present) — The modern Ami is a two-seat electric quadricycle with a 5.5 kWh battery, sold in passenger, cargo and Buggy forms.

What to check when buying a used Citroen Ami

Decide first whether you are looking at a modern electric Ami or a classic, as the checks differ. Inspect the car in daylight, drive it if possible, and ask for service records.

• Battery and real-world range · Electric Ami (2020-present)

  Ask for any battery or dealer diagnostic report. Check the car from a full charge and note the indicated range. Compare it with the manufacturer's stated range for the version, keeping in mind that cold weather and hills reduce it.

• Charging socket and cable · Electric Ami (2020-present)

  Look at the charging socket for cracks, bent pins or signs of water. Inspect the supplied cable and plug for damage. Plug the car in and confirm that charging starts and stops normally.

• Panels, doors and seals · Electric Ami (2020-present)

  The body is made of simple panels that can scratch or crack. Check panel gaps, door hinges and latches, and door seals. Look inside for damp carpets or water marks, which suggest leaking seals.

• Tyres, brakes and steering · Electric Ami (2020-present)

  Small, light vehicles can still wear tyres unevenly. Check tread and sidewalls, listen for brake noise on a test drive, and make sure the steering feels consistent without play or pulling to one side.

• Rust in chassis and floor · Classic Ami (1961-1978)

  Rust is the main concern on classic Amis. Check the platform chassis, floor, sills and the areas around the wing and suspension mounts. Lift carpets where possible. Repairs that look recent deserve a closer look at the quality of the work.

• Engine, clutch and gearbox · Classic Ami (1961-1978)

  Check that the air-cooled engine starts readily and runs evenly. Look for oil leaks, listen for unusual noises, and test the clutch and gear changes. Service history and evidence of recent maintenance are useful.

• Documents and vehicle history

  Check that the chassis number matches the papers, and ask for service and import records. Rules for quadricycles and for classic cars differ between countries, so confirm the requirements for your own country separately.

Battery, charging and heat pump

Battery and state of health

The modern Ami uses a 5.5 kWh battery. This is small compared with a normal electric car, so range is limited and falls in cold weather. State of health (SoH) describes how much of the original capacity remains. Ask the seller for any diagnostic report from a Citroën dealer, and check that range on a full charge looks reasonable for the age of the car.

Charging

The Ami charges on AC power from a household-type socket and is not designed for DC fast charging. Check the charging socket for damage, dirt or water ingress, and inspect the cable and plug for cuts or heat marks. Make sure the car starts charging properly and that the charge indicator behaves normally.

Heat pump

A heat pump is not something to assume on this model. Check the spec sheet for the exact version and ask what heating and demisting it has. This matters in winter because heating draws on a small battery, and range can drop noticeably on cold days.
