2005 Citroen C2: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 51% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: rust around suspension or steering mountings 2.2×, exhaust system 1.7×, individual direction indicators 2.2× 4,462 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 45% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: rust around suspension or steering mountings 2.7×, rust in key structural areas 5.3×, individual direction indicators 2.2× 568 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
