This 2001 Citroen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 36,890 miles. The vehicle is currently not valid for MOT and has a history of multiple major failures and advisories.

The odometer shows a critical decrease from 613,260 miles in Oct 2007 to 48,075 miles in Nov 2008, strongly suggesting tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2007 (613,260 mi) and Nov 2008 (48,075 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 613,260 miles (Oct 2007) to 48,075 miles (Nov 2008) — clear odometer fraud.
  • Vehicle has 25 years of history with no valid MOT since 2015-08-18.
  • Multiple major failures recorded across critical systems:

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating no current test issues.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2008, albeit very low for a 25-year-old car.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe platform.
