AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Citroen has 28 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,573 miles. The recurring nature of these critical safety systems, combined with a 2021 service gap, makes this vehicle an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,645 miles per year, with a significant 2021 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings that suggest potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Five major brake failures (Jan 2019, Dec 2020, Jan 2022, Jan 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Two major suspension failures (Jan 2019, Jan 2022) and three advisories show structural weakness.
  • The 2021 MOT gap suggests the vehicle was off-road or unrecorded, raising fraud concerns.
  • Extremely low mileage (3,645 mi/yr) for a 22-year-old car suggests long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Current MOT is valid until May 2027, indicating it recently passed a basic safety check.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The vehicle has a consistent registration plate lamp advisory history, suggesting attention to detail.
