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.
