2004 Citroen C2 1.6L Petrol · MK54 AEM

The 2004 Citroen C2 presents as roadworthy on the basis of its most recent test, with the June 2024 examination at 109,592 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. The maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults carried between tests. Prior to that, the April 2023 pass at 108,861 miles and the August 2020 pass at 104,194 miles also recorded clean results. Mileage sits low for a twenty-two year old vehicle, totalling 109,592 miles or roughly 4,981 per year. The records show a flat accumulation pattern: only 2,398 miles were added between August 2020 and October 2021, and just 731 miles between April 2023 and June 2024. A notable gap exists between the September 2021 failure at 106,234 miles and the October 2021 pass at 106,237 miles, where the car was re-tested three weeks later with no defects cited either time. The DVSA data is sparse and clean otherwise, offering little evidence of consumable neglect or structural concern. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual use can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and exhaust components without surfacing in a pass result. The September 2021 failure with no recorded defect suggests an administrative or undocumented rectification rather than a hard mechanical fault, but the brake calipers and emissions system warrant a cold-start check. Given the absence of advisories across five tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The minimal mileage and clean history imply light use, though long idle spells raise the risk of perished rubber and seized linkages not visible in the MOT trail.
