2023 Citroen C5 Aircrss Cseries ED Bhdi SSA 1.5L Diesel · MM23 LFE

A strong roadworthiness profile defines this C5 Aircross, with its most recent examination on 27 August 2026 returning a clean pass free of advisories or defects. This marks an improvement over the earlier test on 20 March 2026, which had flagged premature wear on both rear tyres. The clearance of those advisories suggests the tyres were replaced between tests, and the absence of any further mechanical issues at the latest inspection indicates no underlying cause for the uneven wear has been identified by the testing station. Overall, the MOT trajectory is favourable, with only tyre-related observations appearing in the recorded history and no failures, dangerous defects, or structural advisories logged. Against an age of roughly three years, the recorded 32,935 miles equates to an annual accumulation of around 10,978 miles, which sits comfortably within typical expectations for a family SUV of this type. There are no significant gaps in testing history or unusual mileage jumps that might suggest prolonged periods off the road or erratic usage. Mechanically, this moderate rate of accumulation implies a balanced wear profile across consumables, with the engine, transmission, and braking system likely to have accumulated proportionate wear rather than the accelerated fatigue seen on higher-mileage examples. The relatively young age of the vehicle combined with sensible mileage means major drivetrain components should retain substantial service life. For a prospective buyer, the principal item to scrutinise is the rear axle geometry and tyre wear behaviour, given that both rear tyres were previously flagged as worn close to the legal limit and on their edges. On a test drive, listen for any humming or drone from the rear that changes with speed, as this can indicate uneven wear continuing. Over uneven road surfaces, pay attention to any vague wander from the rear axle, knocking from the rear suspension, or a tendency for the vehicle to sit noticeably lower on one side, which could point to worn coil springs or fatigued dampers. Check that the rear tyres currently fitted are of matching brand, size, and tread depth, as mixing patterns or sizes can itself provoke the edge wear previously observed. Given that the previous advisories related solely to tyres, a careful inspection of the remaining wearing components is worthwhile even though they were not flagged. With around 33,000 miles accumulated, the front brake discs and pads should be examined for lipping, scorching, or binding calipers, particularly after the vehicle has been driven and the wheels remain hot. Inspect the underside for signs of fluid weeping from the suspension struts or rear axle assemblies, and confirm the exhaust system is secure with no signs of corrosion at the mounting points. Finally, verify that the rear wheel alignment has been checked since the tyre replacement, as a resolved advisory of this nature without a geometry check could allow the issue to recur on the new tyres.
