2021 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · CV21 OFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on October 28, 2025 at 67,120 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside front tyre showing cracking or perishing. This follows a failure in March 2025 where the vehicle was rejected for insufficient windscreen washer fluid and a cracked mirror glass. While the mechanical failures were rectified, the recurrence of minor cosmetic and consumable faults suggests the owner only addresses issues once they fail inspection. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 13,400 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 46,481 miles and the March 2025 test at 64,046 miles, the car covered 17,565 miles in just twelve months. This consistent high-mile usage puts accelerated stress on components such as the suspension system, braking system, and drivetrain. The rapid accumulation between tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long distances, which typically correlates with more predictable long-term wear. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front tyre for further sidew degradation, as the previous advisory indicates the rubber is beginning to perish. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no premature wear has developed from the high annual road use. The history of mirror damage and washer fluid issues is minor, but the buyer should verify the overall attention to exterior trim and fluid levels. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures were noted in the records, but the high mileage justifies a close inspection of the brake pads and discs for remaining thickness.
