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 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 18,881 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety systems warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,998 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 508-mile retest in May 2025 is unusual.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2018-06-27, immediately rectified but indicates systemic wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2017, Jun 2018, Jun 2020, Jun 2025) and failures (Jun 2017, Jun 2018) suggest chronic under-maintenance.
- Persistent lighting issues (Jun 2017, Jun 2018, Jun 2021, Jun 2023) and parking brake efficiency (Jun 2021, Jun 2023) show a reactive repair history.
- The 2015-10-20 advisory for engine covers obscuring components is unusual and requires verification.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, average annual mileage (8,998 mi/yr) suggests regular use rather than prolonged storage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
