2005 CITROEN C41.6L Petrol

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following the most recent MOT pass on 27 February 2026 at 73,353 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects or advisories, indicating the car met the minimum legal requirements at the time of testing. While the history shows two previous failures, the most recent result suggests that any previous issues were rectified prior to the test. The mileage pattern is highly unusual for a 2005 model. Averaging approximately 3,493 miles per year, the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average. However, a massive discrepancy exists in the recorded data. The failure entry on 27 February 2026 lists 118,024 miles, which contradicts the pass entry on the same day at 73,353 miles. This 44,671-mile discrepancy is a significant data error in the official record that requires immediate clarification, as it makes calculating accurate service intervals or wear patterns impossible. A prospective buyer should proceed with caution due to the inconsistent mileage data. The low annual mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which can lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded fuel. You should personally inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and various rubber seals to ensure they have not perished from lack of use. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframes is essential. While the recent MOT pass shows no immediate failures, the previous failures in November 2023 and February 2026 indicate that the vehicle has required remedial work in the past. Verify that all previous failures were addressed with genuine parts rather than temporary fixes.
