MOT Roadworthiness: Good

Common Problems: CITROEN C2
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- SensoDrive automated gearbox actuator failure and shift refusal(Serious)
The automated manual SensoDrive gearbox fitted to 1.4 and 1.6 VTR models suffers from electronic clutch actuator motor fatigue, sensor degradation and software lockouts. The gearbox hesitates, changes gear abruptly, refuses to engage reverse, or locks the car in neutral with a flashing snowflake symbol on the dashboard.
- Front suspension coil spring snapping(Serious)
Shared with the C3 Mk1 on the PF1 platform, the front coil springs are highly vulnerable to corrosion from UK road salt and fatigue from speed cushions. The lower coil fractures suddenly, creating a severe knocking sound and risking tyre puncture if the sharp broken coil makes contact with the tyre carcass.
