How the Citroen Spacetourer holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Citroen Spacetourer grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 809 | 78.62% |
| 6–10 years | 2,293 | 80.46% |
| 11 years and over | 1 | 100% |
Older Citroen Spacetourer examples test at least as well as younger ones in this data, which is uncommon and usually reflects how these cars are used and maintained rather than the age itself.

What this means when buying a used Citroen Spacetourer
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Citroen Spacetourer came to its 2025 test at 58,462 miles and 6.1 years old. Most examples tested were diesel.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
