2019 Citroen Monarch 2.0L Diesel · SF69 HRR

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on 17 July 2026 at 15,432 miles. This follows two consecutive years of defect-free results in 2025 and 2024. While the vehicle experienced a failure in December 2023 due to a defective nearside windscreen wiper blade, a non-functional retractable step, and a nail in the nearside rear tyre, these issues were resolved promptly. The subsequent two years of testing show no recurring faults, suggesting that previous minor mechanical and consumable issues have been addressed effectively. The recorded mileage indicates very light usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,205 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit low, progression from 1,524 miles in December 2020 to the current 15,432 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections occurring consistently since its first recorded test in 2020. This pattern of low mileage suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary or has been used for very short, infrequent journeys. A prospective buyer should focus on components typically affected by low usage and long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no issues with brakes, suspension, or structural integrity, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized brake calipers or degraded rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls due to lack of movement. The 2023 failure regarding the nearside retractable step warrants a physical check to ensure the mechanism operates smoothly without hesitation or electrical faults. Additionally, checking the battery health and fluid levels would be prudent given the infrequent driving intervals indicated by the mileage.
