2008 Citroen C8 2.0L Diesel · KM57 AHC

The vehicle is road‑worthy as of the most recent MOT on 11 February 2022 at 83,286 mi, where it passed with no recorded defects. Earlier failures in 2020 and 2021 – notably brake‑disc corrosion, tyre wear beyond legal limits and a split CV boot – have been rectified, and the latest pass suggests the maintenance trend is stabilising rather than deteriorating. Mileage averages roughly 4,600 mi per year over the 18‑year lifespan, indicating light use for a car of this age. The odometer rose from 34,108 mi in January 2012 to 83,286 mi by February 2022, with no recorded increase after the last test, so the mileage record appears clean and consistent, though the absence of a newer MOT leaves the current mileage unknown. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the front suspension and drivetrain. The 2022 failure flagged fractured near‑side and off‑side front coil springs and a split off‑side CV boot, so visual inspection of coil springs, bushings, and CV joint boots is essential. Brake components merit scrutiny; recurring front‑disc corrosion, occasional binding and thin rear pads were noted in 2021, so measuring disc thickness and pad wear is advisable. Tyre condition should be verified, as several tests recorded tyres at or beyond legal wear limits. Finally, confirm that the parking‑brake lever operates correctly and that the front exhaust system shows no leaks, as a major exhaust leak was recorded in the 2022 test.
