Our Verdict
This Citroen C5 represents a relatively
When inspecting this specific C5, your primary focus should be on the central oil leak noted in the February 2026 MOT. You should ask the seller for documentation confirming whether this leak has been repaired and if any related components, such as seals or gaskets, were replaced.
Given the 119,825 miles on the odometer, check the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and suspension component inspections. Because this is a 2008 model with high mileage, ensure that the diesel engine's fuel system and turbocharger have been maintained according to manufacturer intervals to avoid costly repairs.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering decent fuel economy for long-distance motorway driving. However, as a 2008 model, the exact tax band and insurance group will depend on the specific trim level and previous usage.
Maintenance costs for a Citroen of this age often involve wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and suspension bushings. You should budget for regular diesel-specific maintenance, including fuel filter changes and potential DPF considerations if the vehicle has been used for short urban trips.
The most critical item to inspect is the central oil leak reported in the 2026 MOT (reference 8.4.1 (a) (i)). Check the engine bay and the area beneath the vehicle for fresh signs of weeping or pooling oil.
Additionally, inspect the suspension and steering components. While no defects were recorded in the previous four MOT tests, the high mileage of nearly 120,000 miles means rubber components and dampers may be nearing the end of their service life. Check for any uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Registered in September 2008, this grey 1.6L diesel Citroen C5 has covered 119,825 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. The vehicle has a history of five recorded MOT tests, showing a period of four consecutive years with no recorded defects before a central oil leak was noted in 2026. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle of its age and diesel engine type.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen C5 model to provide a comparative benchmark.
