2010 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Diesel · AV10 OOC

The 2010 Citroen Xsara failed its MOT on 2023-01-26, which was repeated on the same day with a pass after repairs. The vehicle has shown consistent issues with brake components, including worn brake discs, thin brake pads, and corrosion on brake pipes. There have been ongoing problems with the steering rack, indicating potential wear in the steering system. Corrosion is a recurring theme, affecting various parts such as the coil springs, sills, and anti-roll bar linkages. The vehicle also experienced issues with lights, including the airbag warning light, direction indicators, and stop lamps. The trend appears to be worsening, with multiple failures and repairs required over the past few years. The mileage of 134,452 miles over 16 years suggests average usage, which aligns with the level of wear seen in the MOT history. However, the high frequency of brake-related issues and corrosion indicates that these areas may require attention sooner rather than later. Buyers should inspect the brake system thoroughly, paying special attention to the brake pads, discs, and any signs of corrosion. The steering system should also be checked for free play or unusual noises.
