2009 Citroen C2 1.4L Petrol · YY59 KPR

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 August 2024 at 119,131 miles passed with zero defects or advisories. This clean result across multiple consecutive tests indicates that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety standards of the C2 effectively, avoiding the common failures typically seen in vehicles of this age and mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old city-car, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 97,405 miles in October 2020 to 119,131 miles in August 2024. There are no signs of erratic usage or long periods of inactivity that often lead to perished seals or seized components. The low annual mileage suggests the car likely underwent short urban trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage motorway. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Citroen failure points that MOT testing does not always capture. Given the vehicle's age, close attention must be paid to structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, where rust often develops before becoming a test failure. You should also inspect the rubber suspension bushes for cracking, as these can degrade over time regardless of mileage driven. The lack of recorded brake advisories suggests the system is currently in good condition, but checking for caliper caliper pitting remains advisable.
