2006 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Petrol · CT55 TWP

The Citroen Xsara passed its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 115,533 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the surrounding history shows a repeated pattern of failure followed by rapid pass within days, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage sits at 115,533 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 5,777 miles per year. The car covered only 768 miles between the February 2024 pass at 114,765 and the March 2025 failure at 115,242, then added just 291 miles to the March 2026 pass. Such low annual use over twenty years suggests long standing periods, with the sparse record showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across any entry. The back-to-back failures on 19 February 2025 and 3 March 2026, each with no defects logged before a clean pass days later, indicate the vehicle was presented without valid test certification rather than with rectified faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person check of structural integrity and underbody rust, given the age and likely damp storage, plus inspect tyres and wiper blades for perishing from disuse. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the DVSA data, so serious suspension or braking risks are not evidenced. Verify the actual test certificates and confirm the odometer has not been interrupted, as the ten-mile gaps between fail and pass dates warrant scrutiny of the previous owner's compliance habits.
