CITROEN XM2018 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 13 December 2025 at 112,315 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a brief period of instability immediately preceding the final pass. Two consecutive failures on 12 December 2025 at 112,271 and 112,315 miles indicate that specific mechanical or equipment defects were present but required immediate rectification to achieve compliance by the following day. The mileage profile reflects consistent high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between December 2023 (87,359 miles) and December 2024 (99,115 miles), the car covered 11,756 miles, followed by a sharper increase of 13,200 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long distances, which typically places higher strain on drivetrain components and suspension compared to cars that remain stationary. A buyer must investigate the specific faults that caused the double failure in December 2025, as the record provides no technical failure codes for those instances. Given the high mileage and age of this Citroen XM, a physical inspection should prioritize the complex hydraulic suspension system for leaks or worn bushes, which are common failure points on this model. Check for corrosion on the brake lines and the condition of the exhaust system, as the high annual mileage accelerates the wear of these consumable and structural elements.
