AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Citroen has 26 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 28,587 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,358 miles/year, with a significant drop from 88,642 miles in Aug 2020 to 90,371 miles in Aug 2022, suggesting periods of prolonged inactivity.

Things to check

  • Recurring exhaust advisories across 9 tests (Aug 2018–Aug 2025) indicate chronic issues.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (Aug 2018–Aug 2025) and failures (Jan 2007, Jan 2009) point to structural neglect.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link advisories (Jan 2007, Jan 2009, Aug 2025) suggest a recurring safety-critical failure.
  • Recurring headlamp advisories (Aug 2018–Aug 2025) and failures (Jan 2009) indicate a persistent electrical issue.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-14 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recorded DANGEROUS defects, though recurring advisories suggest underlying issues.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
