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

This 2016 Citroen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 52,134 miles. The recent low annual mileage and a 2026 MOT failure require thorough inspection.

Mileage is consistent with normal usage, averaging 6,645 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant drop in annual usage from 2021 onwards (e.g., 1,538 miles in 2023) is a red flag.

Things to check

  • 2022 MOT gap: Vehicle was off-road or unrecorded for a full year, raising questions about maintenance.
  • 2026-01-16 MOT failure: Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding — indicates a specific brake system issue.
  • 2026-01-16 MOT failure: Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover — recent wear on a critical safety component.
  • 2021-04-16 MOT passed with only 2,276 miles in 12 months — very low recent usage can affect component longevity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-18, offering significant peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine usage.
  • No recurring major failures across critical systems like brakes or suspension, suggesting isolated issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) provides a good safety assurance for this model.
