2008 Citroen C-Crosser 2.2L Diesel · AO08 OHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test on 13 April 2026 at 130,490 miles, this followed a significant failure just six days prior. That failure highlighted critical safety issues, specifically a binding offside rear brake and metal-to-metal pad wear that prevented a full performance test. This pattern suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of시험 failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 130,490 miles, this 18-year-old Citroen has averaged approximately 7,250 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing with roughly 5,000 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 5,100 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026. While the mileage is not excessive, the age of the vehicle is evident in the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record repeatedly flags pitted brake discs and deteriorating seals, culminating in the April 2026 failure for a binding caliper and a potentially compromised offside rear wheel bearing. The suspension also shows signs of wear, with anti-roll bar linkage and suspension arm ball joint dust covers failing across multiple tests. Furthermore, the recent April 2026 advisory regarding perishing and cracking rear tyres indicates that the rubber is aging out and will likely require immediate replacement regardless of tread depth. The persistent oil leak noted since 2024 should also be monitored to ensure it is not escalating into a more significant failure.
