Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 March 2025. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted at 116,902 miles. While the car failed its tests on 27 February 2025 and 22 February 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely due to administrative issues or minor faults rectified immediately. The mileage is notably low for a 23 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,083 miles per year. A significant gap exists between February 2023 and March 2025, where the odometer rose from 106,018 to 116,902 miles. This indicates the car covered approximately 10,884 miles over two years, which aligns with a light usage pattern. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of this Citroen C2 makes structural corrosion a primary concern. The DVSA records do not list any failures for rust, but the tester only flags issues that exceed the legal limit. A buyer should manually inspect the sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points for surface or structural oxidation. Low mileage on an older vehicle often leads to perished rubber components. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls for cracking. Since the record shows no recent brake or suspension work, verifying the state of the brake discs and coil springs is advisable to ensure the car has not suffered from long periods of standing.
