2022 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine Bluehdi SS A 1.5L Diesel · LB72 EOW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 29 April 2026 with 52,091 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure just five days prior to the pass indicates a specific mechanical issue required attention. The tester flagged a failure on 24 April at 52,082 miles for parking brake efficiency falling below requirements, but this was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass result. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year which sits significantly above the national average for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2025 test at 49,601 miles and the April 2026 test, the car covered 2,490 miles in just six months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway or commercial use, which places predictable stress on wear items such as the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake hardware. A prospective buyer should focus specifically on the braking system to ensure the repair for the parking brake failure was comprehensive. An in-person inspection should check for uneven wear on the brake discs or any continued play in the handbrake mechanism. Given the high mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the front suspension for signs of premature damper wear or perished bushings, as these components often degrade faster on vehicles exceeding the 50,000-mile threshold.
