2020 Citroen C5 Aircross 1.5L Diesel · NL70 DVM

The Citroen C5 Aircross presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the October 2025 MOT which passed at 29,695 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every test since its early life, showing no escalating faults or unresolved advisories across the official history. Mileage data reveals an unusual pattern for a six-year-old vehicle. The September 2023 test logged just 799 miles, then the car covered 13,506 miles in roughly thirteen months to reach 14,315 miles by October 2024. A failed test on 9 October 2024 at 14,305 miles was followed five days later by a pass at 14,315 miles with no defects listed on either, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive repair. From late 2024 to October 2025 the odometer advanced a further 15,380 miles, bringing annual use to around 4,949 miles overall, though the recent year shows heavier running than the first four. The clean MOT record gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the long early standing period at low mileage, which can conceal damp-related degradation not caught in a pass. Verify the brake calipers and coil springs operate free of binding after the car's recent higher-use phase. Given the sparse but consistent history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. The 2024 double submission within one week with identical no-defect outcomes warrants a check of the failure reason on the DVSA portal before purchase, as the record alone does not explain it.
