2008 Citroen C-Crosser 2.2L Diesel · DU08 AAN

The 2008 Citroen C-Crosser presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2026-02-24 at 181,937 miles with no defects recorded. A prior failure on 2026-02-17 at 181,911 miles also showed no defects, suggesting the vehicle may have undergone minor remedial work or technical adjustments between tests. The pattern of alternating passes and failures at annual intervals since 2024 indicates consistent maintenance practices, though the lack of defect details limits insight into underlying mechanical conditions. The absence of structural corrosion or critical failures in recent tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 10,108 miles annually. The 2025-02-19 pass at 175,134 miles followed a 2024-02-15 test at 168,648 miles, reflecting steady annual accumulation without significant gaps or spikes. This consistency suggests the car has not been subject to prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. However, the 18-year lifespan and high mileage necessitate scrutiny of components prone to degradation, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems, which often fail in older models of this type. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in Citroen C-Crossers, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper functionality. The exhaust system and corrosion under the vehicle should also be checked, as these areas are frequently overlooked in older models. While MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage demand a thorough mechanical examination to confirm ongoing reliability.
