2005 Citroen C2 1.1L Petrol · LA05 DLF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 27 May 2025, which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a period of consecutive clean results dating back to November 2023. While a failure occurred on 14 November 2022, the subsequent three tests indicate that the vehicle has met minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures in the last two years. At a recorded mileage of 114,462 miles over 21 years, the car has averaged approximately 5,450 miles per year. This represents a low usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mechanical wear. The data gap between the November 2022 failure and the November 2023 test suggests a shift in testing frequency, though the recent test in May 2025 indicates a more current inspection cycle. Because the most recent records show no advisories, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and rear suspension arches where Citroens of this era are prone to corrosion. The low mileage increases the likelihood of perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers which may not always trigger an MOT failure until they deteriorate significantly. Checking for fluid leaks and tyre cracking is necessary as the MOT record does not reflect the state of consumable components. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
