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

This 2005 Citroen has 24 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 27,097 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage, and the vehicle is currently untaxed and without a valid MOT.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage from 7,908 miles (Jan 2020) to 2,620 miles (Jan 2024), with a suspiciously low 5-mile retest journey on 15/16 Jan 2024.

Things to check

  • MOT EXPIRY 2025-01-22 — vehicle is currently not validly MOT'd.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: 2,620-mile retest journey on 15/16 Jan 2024 is highly suspicious.
  • RECURRING MAJOR FAILURES: Lights (6 failures), Suspension (3 failures), Emissions (4 advisories).
  • UNUSUAL MILEAGE DROP: Annual usage dropped from ~7,900 miles to ~2,600 miles in 2023–2024.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 4/5 stars (2017) — indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • Consistent Mileage: Average annual usage of 7,074 miles/yr aligns with UK norms.
  • No Odometer Fraud: Mileage readings show no decreases or suspiciously round numbers.
  • Immediate Retests: All 5 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
