AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Citroen Xsara presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 124,649 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since late 2022. The owner has clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without accruing advisories. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for an 18-year-old car. The records show 91,647 miles in November 2022, 104,432 in November 2023, 114,435 in November 2024, and 124,649 in November 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year over the logged period, above the lifetime average of 6,925 but not extreme. One anomaly appears on 2 November 2024 where a fail was logged at 114,433 miles followed immediately by a pass at 114,435 miles with no defects cited; this suggests an administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of recorded advisories across all five tests means no recurring wear trends on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion are evidenced in the official history. A clean sheet of this length implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and the known Citroen propensity for subframe corrosion. In person, verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions against the stated mileages, and confirm the 2024 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA if provenance matters. No binding calipers, worn bushes, or failing components appear in the data to date.
