Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a larger diesel saloon with a clean recent MOT record. Given the absence of recorded defects in its recent history, it represents a lower-risk proposition than many high-mileage alternatives.
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel C5, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been addressed, as these are critical for this engine size. While the MOT history shows no defects, a physical inspection of the suspension components is advised, as these are vital for the C5's driving characteristics.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at nearly 79,000 miles in roughly seven years, it has been driven more than the typical UK average for a diesel of this age. Ensure you check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as tyre tread depth, as these are common wear items that may be approaching replacement intervals given the current mileage.
As a 1997cc diesel, this C5 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, likely offering competitive fuel economy on motorways. You should check the specific Euro 6 emissions rating to ensure it remains compliant with Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) to avoid daily charges.
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim level, so obtain a quote before purchase. Maintenance costs for Citroen large saloons tend to be moderate, but expect higher costs if specialized electronic or suspension components require attention. Estimated annual running costs typically fall between £1,200 and £1,600 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Despite the clean MOT record through July 2025, you should specifically inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks that may not have triggered an MOT failure yet. Pay close attention to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) functionality; ensure the car has been used for more than just short city trips to prevent clogging.
Check all electronic interfaces and infotainment systems, as well as the condition of the black paintwork for any significant stone chips or scratches. Given the mileage of 78,837, inspect the wear on the driver's seat bolster and the steering wheel to ensure they align with the recorded usage.
This 2019 Citroen C5, finished in black, has covered 78,837 miles since its first registration in November 2019. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes with no recorded defects or failures across the last four tests. The vehicle's mileage has increased steadily, with the most recent test in July 2025 showing it has reached the high 70,000s.
