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

This 2010 Citroen has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 18,533 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and low mileage for its age compound significant underlying problems.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,163 miles per year, with a critical 280-mile gap between March 2020 and August 2020, and a 1,654-mile period between August 2023 and August 2024.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2013-06-21 (18,533 mi) — a critical safety defect.
  • Recurring major suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests.
  • Recurring major brake failures and advisories across multiple tests.
  • Offside Outer Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Sep 2025) — structural integrity concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Sep 2025 retest.
  • Mileage is consistently low, suggesting light use and potential for longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
