2021 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine + Ptech SS A 1.2L Petrol · K121 CWP

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor component degradation related to low usage. While the most recent test on 19 March 2025 at 11,521 miles passed, it introduced advisories that were absent in the previous year. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound for travel, specific components are beginning to show signs of age and neglect rather than mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,304 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 8,568 miles and the March 2025 test at 11,521 miles, the car covered only 2,953 miles. This low frequency suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often leads to the deterioration of rubber-based components and surface oxidation on braking surfaces, despite the low tread wear on tyres. A buyer must physically inspect the tyres closely, as the 2025 test flagged perishing on both the front and offside rear sidewalls. This is a classic symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber dries out before wearing. The tester also noted slight scoring on the rear brake discs; while not excessive, the buyer should verify the thickness and check for uneven wear to ensure the calipers are not seizing due to inactivity.
