This 2001 Citroen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 76,554 miles. While it has been maintained, the numerous past failures and current MOT status require thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent high mileage, averaging 9,120 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating regular use.

Things to check

  • Recurring major emissions failures (Oct 2005, Nov 2014, Mar 2016) and advisories (4 related) indicate persistent engine issues.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (Oct 2009, Nov 2014) and advisories (2 related) suggest ongoing wear and tear.
  • Recurring major exhaust failures (Oct 2005, Nov 2014, Mar 2016) and advisories (4 related) point to chronic engine/drive system issues.
  • The vehicle has been off-road since 2015 (SORN status), which may have contributed to the recurring issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage (9,120 miles/year) suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • The vehicle has a long service history, with consistent annual mileage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its age.
