2008 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Petrol · FN58 WLL

The Citroen Xsara presents a currently roadworthy status following the July 2025 test cycle, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester passed the vehicle on 14 July 2025 at 67,529 miles with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test at identical mileage with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the September 2022 and September 2021 tests at 63,850 and 60,236 miles respectively also returned clean passes with no advisories. The odometer shows 67,529 miles against an 18-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 3,752 miles per year, which is low for its age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests saw only 3,614 miles added, and a near three-year silence precedes the 2025 entry where 3,679 miles were logged. Such low annual use combined with the standing period implied by sparse testing often allows corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unnoticed despite minimal drivetrain wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record lacks advisories that might otherwise flag early rust on sills or subframes. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical checks given the vehicle's age and intermittent use, since the clean tests do not confirm component condition beyond the test day. The duplicated 14 July 2025 entries should be clarified with DVSA to confirm the roadworthiness certificate stands.
