2009 Citroen C2 1.1L Petrol · FD09 HUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 14 October 2024 recorded a pass at 113 178 miles with no defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern: after a failure on 12 October 2024 at 113 072 miles, the car was retested the same day and passed, following similar short‑term failures in October 2023 at 101 005 miles. The quick rectification of those faults indicates that issues were addressed promptly, moving the car from a failing to a passing status. Mileage accumulation over the car’s 17‑year life averages roughly 6 658 miles per year, a figure that aligns with typical usage for a 2009 model. The gap between the 2022 test (89 658 miles) and the 2023 test (101 005 miles) represents about 11 300 miles in a year, while the following year added a further 12 067 miles before the 2024 failures. This steady progression suggests consistent rather than erratic wear. The MOT entries are about 21 months old, so the recorded data is relatively recent but not current. A buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, as the vehicle failed twice shortly before passing. Suspension components such as bushes and coil springs need close examination for corrosion or excessive play. Given the age, check for structural rust around wheel arches, floor panels and the exhaust for corrosion. Tyre tread depth and condition should be verified, as should wiper blades and any advisory items that may have been noted. A visual check for corrosion and a test drive to assess ride height and brake feel will provide confidence in the car’s mechanical state.
