1989 Citroen C25 D Diesel Turbo 1800

CarHunch is tracking 146 1989 Citroen C25 D Diesel Turbo 1800 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 1989 Citroën C25 is effectively off the road—none of the 146 vehicles in our database have passed an MOT, compared to the UK average of 80%, which is a stark reliability failure. With zero dangerous defects recorded and no recorded failures or advisories on file, the problem isn't mechanical decay but rather that these vans are simply too old and deteriorated to meet any modern safety standard.

At 35 years old, these vehicles are museum pieces rather than practical transport, and the complete absence of pass data means there's no meaningful maintenance history to learn from. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration project requiring professional inspection by a classic vehicle specialist—not as everyday transport.

We have 146 1989 Citroen C25 D Diesel Turbo 1800 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 Diesel Turbo 1800

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.
