2010 Citroen C-Crosser 2.2L Diesel · CA10 UTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 92,696 miles passed with only an advisory for pitted rear inner brake discs, this follows a history of repeated failures related to braking components. The car has failed its MOT in 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating that faults are only addressed once they reach failure thresholds. At 16 years old, the Citroen C-Crosser has a relatively low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the corrosion issues seen in the record, specifically the consistent pitting and scoring of brake discs noted between 2017 and 2025. There was a notable jump of over 14,000 miles between August 2023 and 2024, but the vehicle generally appears to sit for long periods, which can contribute to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer must focus their inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows a recurring issue with the parking brake, which failed in 2023 due to inoperability and excessive movement in 2024. Additionally, the offside track rod end was flagged for play in 2024, and an anti-roll bar linkage showed wear back in 2019. These indicators suggest that a thorough check of all suspension joints and ball joints is required to ensure lateral stability, as the history shows a trend of ignoring minor plays until they become significant defects.
