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.
