2009 Citroen Xsara 1.6L Petrol · HG59 FFR

The Citroen Xsara presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 77,105 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination clearing clean once minor pre-test anomalies were resolved. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisory items appear in the DVSA record. The odometer shows 77,105 miles against a 2009 build date, an average of roughly 4,536 miles per year. The car covered only 3,153 miles between the October 2023 test at 71,830 miles and the October 2024 test at 73,941 miles, then 3,153 miles again to the October 2025 pass at 77,105 miles. Such low yearly use over seventeen years suggests extended standing periods are likely. The record itself is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emission concerns ever flagged. Two failed tests on 21 October 2024 at 73,941 miles and 14 October 2025 at 77,102 miles both closed with no defects recorded on the same day as the subsequent passes. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Verify the underside for rust and check that brake calipers are not binding after prolonged storage. Confirm the tyres and wiper blades meet wear limits despite the absence of advisories. The clean MOT lineage supports a sound purchase, but age-related perishing of rubber and dormant corrosion remains a risk the paperwork cannot exclude.
