Citroën C-Crossers licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2013 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
In 2025, 54.6% of Citroën C-Crosser MOT tests were passed first time,

Cars of the same ages as the Citroën C-Crossers tested pass 58.5% of the time, so the Citroën C-Crosser does worse than average for its age, by 3.9 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 56.3%.

How we use engine sizes.
Citroën C-Crosser fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Citroën C-Crosser from 2008 to 2012. On the NEDC test (listings 2008 to 2012), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 30.1 to 42.2 mpg, with CO2 of 175 to 225 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model name “C-Crosser”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Citroën C-Crosser safety recalls
DVSA lists 11 safety recalls for the Citroën C-Crosser since 1992, the first in 2008. The most recent was launched on 4 December 2018.
Ancillaries belt tensioner mounting may not be correct to specification
Launched 4 December 2018DVSA recall R/2018/348Manufacturer ref. GMH
Defect
Ancillaries drive belt tensioner mounting may not be correct to specification.
Remedy
Check and if necessary replace the ancillaries drive belt tensioner.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Citroën C-Crosser. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
