CITROEN XSARA2004 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 64,268 miles confirmed it passed with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2025-02-07 (63,584 miles) and 2024-01-22 (62,575 miles) also passed, though the latter coincided with a failed test entry at the same date and mileage, which may reflect an administrative error. No recurring mechanical issues were flagged in the record, suggesting consistent maintenance or absence of critical faults. The car’s mileage of 64,268 miles over 22 years equates to approximately 2,921 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs due to lack of movement. The MOT history shows no major gaps, with tests conducted roughly annually, but the low mileage raises concerns about potential corrosion or degraded rubber parts, particularly in the exhaust system or engine mounts. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as these are common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary. Check brake discs for warping or corrosion, and assess the exhaust system for rust, especially near the catalytic converter. The 2024-01-22 failed test entry without defects warrants clarification, though no structural issues were recorded. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires careful evaluation of age-related wear in non-mechanical components.
