2006 Citroen C5: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 62% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.4× 172 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 58% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: sidelights 2×, air/gas/fluid suspension: pipes null×, anti-roll bar link joints 1.9× 1,126 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
