2014 CITROEN C42.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 17 February 2026 at 53,720 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the car has moved past a period of non-compliance. While the 2024 and 2025 tests resulted in failures, the most recent inspection with no recorded defects suggests that the previous owner addressed the necessary mechanical repairs to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,477 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low use between June 2023 (41,778 miles) and June 2024 (46,507 miles), where the car covered only 4,729 miles in a year. However, usage increased sharply with 7,213 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage often leads to age degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that led to the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the specific defect details were not provided in the summary. Low-mileage vehicles of this age frequently suffer from seized calipers, perished suspension bushes, and degraded tyres due to lack of movement. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and check the integrity of the exhaust mounting system, as the low mileage does not protect against environmental-related rust over a decade.
