Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for this 2019
When considering this vehicle, focus on the period around May 2024 when multiple issues were identified. You should request evidence that the exhaust mountings and all four tyres were replaced or repaired following that failure. While the 2025 and 2026 tests were passed without defects, ensuring the work was carried out to a high standard is vital.
Ask the seller for a detailed service history to see if the 1.2L petrol engine has received regular oil changes. Given the 2024 MOT failure included headlamp aim issues, verify that the headlight adjustment mechanism is functioning correctly and that no further alignment issues persist.
The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger diesel counterparts. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a mid-sized family car, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve standard servicing, but be mindful of tyre replacement costs, as the 2024 MOT showed wear on multiple tyres simultaneously. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, fall within a moderate range for this class.
Specifically inspect the exhaust system to ensure the central and nearside rear mountings (noted as defective in 2024) are secure and free from excessive vibration. Check the condition of all four tyres; the 2024 record indicated multiple tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges.
Additionally, test the headlight aim and the registration plate lamp to ensure the electrical and alignment issues noted in the 2024 failure have been fully rectified. Finally, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, which could indicate underlying suspension or alignment problems.
This blue 1.2L petrol Citroen C5 has covered 53,309 miles since its first registration in April 2019. The vehicle shows a mix of clean MOT records in 2023, 2025, and 2026, contrasted by a significant number of defects during its 2024 inspection. The mileage is consistent with a mid-range annual usage for a seven-year-old vehicle.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Citroen C5 model to provide a comparative reliability score.
