2021 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine + Ptech SS A 1.2L Petrol · CJ21 KCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent November 2025 MOT at 47,358 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the prior June 2025 test at 45,114 miles also passed without issues. A failed test in June 2024 at 33,584 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved before the subsequent June 2024 pass at 33,658 miles. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the last three tests indicates consistent upkeep. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,472 miles annually. A sharp increase from 33,658 miles in June 2024 to 45,114 miles in June 2025—11,456 miles in 12 months—suggests heavier usage during that period. The final 2,244-mile jump to 47,358 miles by November 2025 occurred over five months, reflecting accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The sparse defect history implies no major mechanical deterioration, though the rapid mileage growth warrants scrutiny of suspension and braking systems. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, given the mileage trajectory. The failed 2024 test, though unrecorded as defective, may hint at transient issues requiring follow-up. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these components often degrade with extended use. The lack of recorded defects is positive but does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
