2019 Citroen C5 1.6L Petrol · KB07 MCG

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 8 December 2025 resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same day due to a dangerous tyre tread depth deficiency and an inoperative registration plate lamp. The history indicates a recurring trend of neglecting consumables, specifically tyres and brake components, which requires immediate attention to ensure long-term reliability. The recorded mileage of 63,515 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. This level of usage is typical for a 2019 model and suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, with entries in January 2024, December 2024, and December 2025, which provides a reliable timeline for assessing wear. The brake system requires close physical inspection. The tester flagged worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs in both the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This suggests that while the discs were not deemed structurally weakened, the owner has allowed them to reach a state of significant surface degradation. A buyer should check the thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads to ensure the braking system is not nearing a more expensive overhaul. Tyre management appears to be a significant issue for this vehicle. The record shows a progression from advisories on tyre wear in January 2024 to a dangerous failure for a cracked tyre with insufficient tread in December 2024, followed by another dangerous failure for a nearside rear tyre in December 2025. This pattern of allowing tyres to reach legal limits or fail dangerously suggests a tendency to delay basic maintenance. Any prospective buyer should inspect the entire set of tyres for uneven wear, cracking, or age-related perishing.
