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

This 2012 Citroen has 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 37,444 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the vehicle's safety record makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 9,304 miles/year, averaging 80,683 miles by Dec 2018, and 129,853 miles by Dec 2025, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • Four DANGEROUS tyre failures recorded across multiple tests (Dec 2018, Dec 2020, Dec 2023, Dec 2024).
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Dec 2018, Dec 2020, Dec 2023) and suspension advisories (Dec 2023, Dec 2025) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Major failure for steering (Dec 2024) and a split CV boot (Dec 2024) highlight significant mechanical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 9,304 miles/year.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until December 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting a basic level of safety design.
