2006 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Petrol · FL56 VCY

The Citroen Xsara passed its most recent MOT on 18 August 2022 at 108,719 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The single failure on 17 August 2022 at the same mileage shows no defects listed, pointing to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 26 August 2021 at 103,728 miles. At roughly 20 years old, the Xsara shows 108,719 recorded miles, an average of about 5,436 miles per year. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests covers only 4,991 miles, consistent with light use. The identical 108,719 mile reading across both August 2022 entries suggests the car was presented for test, failed on a non-mechanical technicality, and retested the next day without further road use. Sparse records limit deep trend analysis, but no advisories or worn consumables appear in the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT history records no checks beyond pass or fail outcomes. Low mileage over two decades can mask perished rubber components and structural rust from prolonged standing. Verify the actual 2022 failure reason via DVSA records, since the omission of defects in the supplied data leaves the cause unconfirmed.
