2002 Citroen Xsara 2.0L Diesel · YN02 HDH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 29 April 2023 at 146,423 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. While the history shows failures in early 2023 and 2022, the immediate passes following these tests suggest the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal compliance. At 146,423 miles, this 24-year-old vehicle averages approximately 6,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an older hatchback. The data shows a very slow mileage accumulation between April 2021 and April 2023, where the car covered only 5,597 miles over two years. This low annual mileage reduces the wear on high-frequency components like the drivetrain, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or brake components seizing due to periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the vehicle's structural integrity and potential for corrosion, particularly in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the age and the low mileage between tests, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber or cracks rather than wear. Since the last recorded MOT was over three years ago, it is vital to verify that no significant fluid leaks or tyre defects have developed since the 2023 test, as the current record does not reflect the vehicle's state in 2026.
