FLEET News looks at how new cars taken on to a typical fleet might perform over the next three years/60,000 miles. Using data from used car expert CAP Motor Research, we benchmark two cars against each other to see how they perform over the traditional fleet cycle.

This week, we compare two diesel estates in the upper-medium sector – the Peugeot 407 SW 2.0 HDi 136 SE and Citroen C5 2.0 16v VTR Estate.
