2009 Citroen C-Crosser 2.2L Diesel · SR58 KTL

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of progressive structural and corrosion-related deterioration. While it passed its most recent test in September 2023 at 148,492 miles, the record reveals a long-term history of significant rust that has not been addressed. The transition from general underside corrosion noted in 2020 to a specifically corroded rear sub-frame in 2023 indicates that while the vehicle remains legally roadworthy for now, the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points is degrading. At 148,492 miles over 17 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical family use for this age. However, there is a significant gap in the data as the last recorded MOT was performed in September 2023. As of June 2026, the vehicle is nearly three years overdue for a formal test. The presence of a DPF light and service lights during the 2023 test suggests a history of mechanical neglect or unresolved faults that may have worsened during the intervening period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage, focusing specifically on the rear sub-frame and the brake lines. The history consistently flags corroded on all four brake pipes from 2020 through to 2022, suggesting the lines are likely thinned and prone to sudden failure. The offside front coil spring was flagged for corrosion in 2023, which should be checked for structural thinning or risk of snapping. Furthermore, the recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear across multiple years indicate persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention to prevent further consumable damage.
