2010 Citroen C5 2.0L Diesel · PK60 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of mechanical rectification. The most recent MOT test on 27 September 2025 at 89,510 miles showed no defects, indicating that previous issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 84,982 miles. While the car experienced a failure in September 2023 due to a weakened offside rear brake disc and a split offside front CV boot, the subsequent two years of testing suggest these components were replaced and the vehicle has since maintained a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,594 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan. This low-intensity use is evident in the progression from 21,803 miles in November 2013 to the current 89,510 miles. Such low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, a trend visible in the 2020 test where the tester flagged perishing tyres and light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorbers. The data shows a consistent, gradual increase in mileage without any sudden periods of heavy use or unexplained gaps in testing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The history shows recurring issues with shock absorber damping, specifically noted in 2018 and 2020, so checking for leaks or excessive bounce is necessary. Although the 2023 brake disc failure was resolved, the recurring mentions of thin brake pads and worn tyres between 2014 and 2016 suggest a historical tendency to run consumables to their limits. Verifying the current condition of the CV boots and the integrity of the brake discs and pads is a prudent step. Given the low mileage and the recent clean MOT results, the vehicle appears well-maintained in its current state. However, the age of the vehicle means rubber components like suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and various seals should be checked for cracking or perishing, as these are common in cars that spend significant time stationary. The absence of structural corrosion or emissions failures in the recent records is a positive indicator of the car's overall mechanical health.
