2010 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Diesel · AP10 ARZ

The overall roadworthiness of this 2010 Citroen XSARA is non-roadworthy for a vehicle of this age. This assessment is based on a clear deterioration of the MOT record, with the most recent test on 2025-08-05 failing at 153,551 miles, followed by a subsequent failure on 2024-08-12 at 128,566 miles. The sequence of failures indicates a consistent, worsening pattern of mechanical risk rather than a stable or improving trend. The mileage accumulation is significant, with a gap between the two most recent tests occurring in August 2024, yet the data remains sparse and clean, suggesting that no major wear or failure has occurred since the first failure. The vehicle is approximately 16 years old, yet it has maintained roughly 9,600 miles per year, which is typical for its age but insufficient to offset the recurring faults. The lack of a single positive result in the most recent test confirms that the vehicle's mechanical integrity has been compromised. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the suspension and braking systems. The failure at 153,551 miles suggests that the suspension components, such as bushings, coil springs, or binding calipers, may be in poor condition. Similarly, the failure on 128,566 miles in August 2024 indicates that the brakes, including brake discs and calipers, are likely exhibiting binding conditions. Given the history of two failures, the vehicle presents a serious risk of failure in the future without further inspection.
