2004 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Petrol · GJ04 ABU

The 2023‑02‑27 MOT at 118,041 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of that date and that the maintenance record shows no worsening trend. The recorded mileage of 118,041 at 22 years of age equates to roughly 5,366 miles per year, indicating lighter than average use. Between the 2022‑02‑08 test at 114,425 miles and the 2022‑02‑15 test at 114,904 miles the vehicle accumulated only 479 miles in seven days, then surged to 118,040 miles by 2023‑02‑22, a rise of 3,136 miles in 38 days, before stabilising at the final reading. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, verify that the rear and front calipers move freely without binding, and check the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust that could compromise integrity. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the low annual mileage suggests prolonged periods of inactivity that may affect rubber components and the exhaust system, so a thorough physical inspection of tyres, wiper blades, and under‑body corrosion is advisable before purchase.
