This 2002 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 36,128 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of recurring issues and a recent MOT expiry date warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,651 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage for its age.
Things to check
- Five major failures across 17 MOT tests (Jan 2009, Jan 2014, Jan 2015, Feb 2016, Mar 2017) indicate persistent issues.
- Recurring advisories for tyres (5 tests) and exhausts (5 tests) point to chronic wear and neglect.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN with an expired MOT (2018-03-23), requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.
- A DANGEROUS defect for a major leak of exhaust gases was recorded on 2009-01-22, though it passed the retest.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,651 miles/year, indicating normal usage for its age.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting a generally safe design.
