2009 Citroen C2 1.4L Diesel · FV58 UKR

The most recent MOT on 21 December 2023 at 160,843 miles recorded a pass, confirming the car satisfied the statutory road‑worthiness criteria at that date. No defects were logged in any of the tests from September 2022 through December 2023, indicating a stable maintenance record with no emerging mechanical or structural issues evident in the official data. A 2009 Citroën C2 now showing 160,843 miles is roughly 17 years old, averaging about 9,500 miles per year. The mileage log, however, reveals only a 5,045‑mile increase between the 23 September 2022 pass (155,798 miles) and the 21 December 2023 pass, equating to just over 4,000 miles per year in that interval. This suggests lighter than average use or periods of limited running, and there are no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded mileage. When inspecting the vehicle, focus on consumable wear that would not appear on the MOT record. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as high‑mileage cars often develop uneven wear. Examine suspension components—particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s age. Check brake pads and discs for thickness and any glazing, and confirm that the calipers operate without binding. A visual assessment of the under‑body for rust, especially around wheel arches and suspension mounting points, will reveal any hidden structural deterioration. Finally, ensure the exhaust system is free of leaks and that all lights, indicators, and emissions controls function correctly, as these items can fail between MOTs without being recorded.
