Citroen C25 D 1000 Diesel (1989)
1989 Citroen C25 D 1000 Diesel
CarHunch is tracking 245 1989 Citroen C25 D 1000 Diesel vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Not a single one of the 245 C25s in this cohort passed its MOT on the first attempt—a stark 0% pass rate compared to the UK average of 80%—though the zero dangerous defects recorded is a small mercy for a van this old. The complete absence of mileage data and failure/advisory records suggests these vehicles are so rare and aged that MOT testing patterns have become unreliable; you're essentially looking at a vehicle that has largely disappeared from the road.
If you're considering a 1989 C25 D, treat it as a specialist's project rather than practical transport. Have a pre-purchase inspection by someone who knows French vans of this era, because the MOT data here is too sparse and uniformly poor to guide you on what specific problems to expect.
We have 245 1989 Citroen C25 D 1000 Diesel vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1989 Citroen C25 D 1000 Diesel
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
