2009 Citroen C5 2.0L Diesel · DY59 AEJ

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass in January 2024 at 140,835 miles. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend, as the car has consistently passed testing after immediate re-test failures. While the record shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes without any recorded defects suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults rather than allowing mechanical or structural issues to accumulate. At approximately 17 years old, the Citroen C5 has covered an average distance of roughly 8,284 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent movement, with approximately 5,000 miles covered between September 2021 and September 2022, and another 5,800 miles between September 2022 and January 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation that often lead to perished rubber components or internal corrosion in fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components, as these are common failure points for this model at this mileage. Despite the clean MOT passes, the previous failures indicate that components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake hardware may require regular monitoring. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, is essential to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed since the last recorded test.
