Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Citroen C2 presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 23 September 2021 at 140,076 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding failure on 14 September 2021 at 140,072 miles listed no defects, indicating the car cleared on a swift retest. Across the available five-year window the vehicle avoided any recorded advisories or mechanical faults, so the trend shows no worsening condition. At roughly 19 years old the car shows 140,076 miles, equating to about 7,372 miles per year, which is typical for a 2007 supermini. The odometer moved only 2,091 miles between the April 2019 test at 131,985 miles and the October 2020 test at 137,410 miles, then added just 2,666 miles to the September 2021 pass. Such low annual use suggests light running rather than high wear, though the sparse record leaves long gaps unobserved. The repeated fail-pass cycles in October 2020 and September 2021 with zero defects logged point to administrative or minor non-mechanical issues rather than worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake discs. A buyer should still confirm in person that the exhaust, subframes, and coil springs are free of rust, given the age and the fact no tester noted underside condition across this period. Prior owners kept the MOT history clean of consumable neglect such as tyres or wiper blades, but the absence of advisories on a 140,000-mile Citroen warrants a hands-on check of clutch wear, gearbox condition, and suspension joints before purchase.
