2022 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine + Ptech Ss A

CarHunch analysed 150 real MOT records for the 2022 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine + Ptech Ss A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 C5 Aircross is a strong performer, passing its MOT first time in 94% of cases against the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 4.7%. You're looking at a mechanically sound car that's unlikely to spring expensive surprises on you.

With average mileage of just over 20,000 miles for a two-year-old model, these are lightly used examples, which explains the excellent pass rate and minimal failure rate of 0.1 per vehicle. The 1.2 advisories per car suggest minor maintenance items rather than serious wear, so budget for routine servicing but expect to avoid major repairs—have any used example's brake fluid and coolant condition checked regardless, as these are common Citroën advisory items.

What to check before buying a 2022 Citroen C5 Aircross Shine + Ptech Ss A

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.
