2006 Citroen C2 1.6L Petrol · FN56 YXZ

The most recent MOT on record is the 3 November 2021 test at 87,445 miles, which returned a failure with no defects formally recorded by the tester. This leaves the vehicle's current roadworthiness unverified for nearly five years, as no further tests appear on the DVSA ledger. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving from this single terminal entry; the lack of a pass or a listed defect means the car was taken off the active test cycle at that point and has not returned. The odometer stood at 87,445 miles at the 2021 failure, equating to an average of roughly 4,372 miles per year since the 2006 build. That is low for a two-decade-old hatchback and suggests either light commuting use or extended periods of storage. The record shows no earlier tests, so we cannot chart accumulation or spot gaps; the single 2021 figure is the only anchor. A long static interval raises the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corroding brake components through disuse. A buyer must treat the 2021 failure as an open question. With no defects captured, the reason for refusal is undocumented, so a full inspection of structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and braking efficiency is required before any road use. The Citroen C2 of this era commonly suffers from front suspension bush wear and rear beam corrosion; both need physical checks. Given the four-year-plus test gap and low standing mileage, verify the brake discs for rust bonding, test the coil springs for fracture, and confirm the tyres are not aged beyond the 10-year limit. The previous keeper clearly let the test lapse rather than repair and retest, which implies basic statutory upkeep was not prioritised.
