This 2022 C5 Aircross is a solid performer, passing first-time MOT 89.3% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%—with a very low dangerous defect rate of just 3.0%, so safety issues are genuinely rare. The diesel engine appears well-engineered for its class, with owners averaging only 0.13 failures per vehicle across the test.

At 24,800 miles median (and 29,408 average), these cars are running light for their age, which helps explain the strong pass rate, though you'll want to check service history closely on any higher-mileage examples. The average of 1.0 advisory per vehicle is reassuring—mostly minor wear items—so budget for routine maintenance but don't expect major surprises; before you buy, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension and fluid levels, the two most common advisory triggers on this model.
