2002 Citroen Saxo Furio

CarHunch is tracking 114 2002 Citroen Saxo Furio vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

The 2002 Citroën Saxo Furio is in serious trouble: just 3.2% pass the MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and petrol versions fail outright at 0%. This isn't about hidden defects—none of these vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—but rather accumulated wear across nearly 90,000 miles on average.

With virtually zero failures and advisories logged per vehicle, the data suggests these cars aren't mechanically broken so much as worn out by age and mileage; the problem is likely multiple small issues adding up rather than one catastrophic fault. If you're considering one, get a full pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic and expect that first MOT retake to cost more than the car's worth.

What to check before buying a 2002 Citroen Saxo Furio

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
