2009 Citroen C5 Exclusive HDI 2.0L Diesel · RJZ 8236

The vehicle maintains a technically roadworthy status based on its most recent MOT test on 11 September 2022. At 298,835 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests a stable maintenance trend leading up to that point, though the fact that the last test is now nearly four years old relative to the June 2026 date means the vehicle is currently out of its MOT and its present roadworthiness cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage data reveals a significant surge in usage during the later years. Between the August 2021 test at 171,047 miles and the September 2022 test at 298,835 miles, the vehicle covered 127,788 miles in just 13 months. This equates to over 10,000 miles per month, far exceeding the calculated annual average of 17,579 miles. Prior to this period, the mileage accumulation between 2018 and 2021 was much more modest, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year. This extreme period of high-intensity usage has likely placed accelerated stress on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the hydraulic suspension system and turbocharger, as components subjected to hundreds of thousands of miles often suffer from terminal fatigue in these areas. Check for perished bushes, worn arm bushings, and significant corrosion on the exhaust system or subframe. Given the long gap since the last MOT and the previous high mileage, a thorough check of brake fluid condition and the thickness of the discs is essential to ensure no major mechanical failures have developed during the period of inactivity or extreme wear.
