2005 Citroen C2 1.1L Petrol · SH55 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 90,359 miles. This test was completed with no defects recorded, indicating the car meets the minimum legal safety standards. A pattern of immediate re-tests is evident, as the car failed on 2 March 2026 and 3 March 2025 before passing the following day in both instances. The mileage is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,303 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 84,962 miles and the March 2026 test at 90,359 miles, the car covered 5,397 miles. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which can often lead to different wear patterns than high-mileage motorway use. Despite the clean record of no defects in the most recent passes, the low mileage and age of this Citroen C2 necessitate a physical inspection of specific areas. The buyer should check for perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. Brake calipers should be checked for seizing or binding, a common issue for cars that sit idle for long periods. Structural corrosion is the primary risk for a vehicle of this vintage. A thorough inspection of the underbody and sills is required to ensure the chassis integrity remains sound. While the DVSA records show no recent failures for rust, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of surface corrosion that has not yet reached a critical failure point.
