2007 Citroen C2 1.1L Petrol · KT56 AAZ

In the May 2022 MOT at 103,675 mi the car recorded a pass but retained a number of advisories, notably serious fluid leaks on both rear shock absorbers, a defective rear‑exhaust mounting, and near‑limit tyre tread on the front wheels. The pattern of recurring tyre wear, suspension leaks and chassis corrosion points to a deteriorating maintenance trend rather than a stable one. The 2007 Citroën C2 has accumulated 103,675 mi over 19 years, averaging roughly 5,500 mi per annum. Mileage increments between successive tests are modest – for example, from 63,429 mi in May 2014 to 74,774 mi in June 2015, then a steady climb to 103,675 mi in May 2022 – indicating consistent, low‑usage rather than periods of heavy loading or long storage gaps. The mileage record itself shows no abrupt spikes that would suggest accelerated wear. A prospective buyer should verify front tyre depth, as the vehicle has repeatedly approached the 1.6 mm legal minimum. Inspection of the rear suspension is essential; the documented fluid leaks on both shock absorbers suggest possible seal failure or bushings wear. The rear‑exhaust mounting, previously noted as held together by wire, must be examined for structural integrity and proper fitment. Corrosion around the off‑side chassis mounting, flagged as severe in 2021, should be probed for any loss of section or compromised strength. Brake pads, previously reported as under 1.5 mm, require measurement, and the operation of the registration plate lamp, washer fluid system and direction indicators should be confirmed to avoid repeat failures. Addressing these items will be necessary to bring the vehicle back to a reliable road‑worthy condition.
