AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Citroen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 51,484 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2023-11-28, which is highly irregular for a 17-year-old car.
The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage before Nov 2021 (853 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Nov 2022 (966 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2023-11-28; current status 'Not valid' — a critical red flag for a 17-year-old vehicle.
- Recurring suspension failures (4 major) and tyre advisories (9) indicate chronic neglect and poor maintenance.
- Mileage anomalies: suspiciously low usage before Nov 2021 (853 mi/yr) and again before Nov 2022 (966 mi/yr).
- Multiple major failures in suspension, lights, and brakes, with no corresponding advisories, suggests reactive rather than proactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its age.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since Nov 2022, suggesting the owner has been addressing issues.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,708 miles/yr after initial low usage, showing normal usage patterns later on.
