Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise verifying whether the advisories from the March 2023 MOT have been addressed, specifically the 'severely deteriorated' nearside front CV boot and the slight engine oil leak. You should also confirm that the brake discs, which were described as 'seriously weakened' in 2021, were replaced rather than just resurfaced.
Given the age of the vehicle and the nature of the previous failures, request evidence of any maintenance performed between 2021 and 2023. Use the presence of the 2023 advisories to negotiate the price, as these represent imminent maintenance requirements.
The 1124cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an economical choice for urban driving. Insurance groups for the C2 are typically low, and the small engine size generally keeps the annual road tax affordable.
Maintenance costs for this model are usually modest, but the MOT history suggests this specific vehicle may require more frequent attention to its braking system and CV joints. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and a provision for wear-and-tear repairs.
Carefully inspect the front and rear braking systems. The 2021 MOT noted seriously weakened discs and thin pads, while the 2023 test mentioned a binding offside rear service brake; ensure these are functioning smoothly now.
Check the CV boots on the front drive shafts for splits or grease leakage, as both the 2021 failure and 2023 advisory highlight deterioration in these components. Finally, inspect the engine bay for signs of the slight oil leak recorded in the most recent MOT test.
This black 2008 Citroen C2 has recorded 54,203 miles as of March 2023. The MOT history shows a significant failure in October 2021 involving seriously weakened brake discs and split CV boots. While the most recent test was a pass, it included several advisories regarding a deteriorating CV boot, a slight oil leak, and binding brakes.
