S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares appear to be having a better week this week.

The ASX 200 is currently 0.16% higher at 7,866.9 points on Tuesday.

Yesterday, the benchmark index closed up 1.02%.

Prior to this, four consecutive weeks of market falls left the ASX 200 teetering on the edge of an official market correction.

A market correction is defined as a 10% fall from the most recent peak.

The ASX 200 hit a seven-month low during the sell-off, and several ASX 200 blue-chip shares got swept up in the tailspin.

And therein lies a potential opportunity.

How can you take advantage of the market sell-off?

One potential option may be buying the dip on ASX 200 blue-chip shares for long-term investment.

But which ones?

In this article, we profile 5 ASX 200 blue-chip shares trading at multi-year lows and whether brokers recommend we buy them.

It's important to note that there are other contributing factors, besides the global sell-down over tariffs, that have led to these stocks trading at multi-year lows.

But it's fair to say the global market sell-off has added downward pressure to their share prices, as we document for each one below.
