1991 Citroen C25 2.0L Petrol · J167 NNF

The Citroen C25 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 78,596 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 23 May 2024 at 78,459 miles also showed a clean sheet. Two earlier failures on 4 May 2024 and 12 May 2023 were logged with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle has remained structurally and mechanically sound across its five most recent annual tests. Recorded mileage sits at 78,596 against a 35 year old van, averaging roughly 2,246 miles per year. The records show very low annual use: only 1,468 miles between the May 2023 and May 2024 tests, and a mere 137 miles across the following year to May 2025. Such limited running implies long standing periods, which on a 1991 chassis raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and hidden corrosion rather than worn drivetrain parts. The clean MOT history gives no indication of rapid accumulation or neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. The MOT data flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, yet a Citroen of this era commonly suffers structural rust at sill and chassis junctions after decades of damp storage. Check the hydraulic suspension lines and brake lines for internal corrosion or binding calipers from disuse. Verify the two failure entries were indeed non mechanical by reviewing the original failure notices. Confirm the odometer readings are genuine given the tiny yearly increments. Otherwise, the documented history supports a low use, well presented example requiring only routine age related scrutiny.
