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

This 2009 Citroen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 18,686 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,467 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2019 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (Jan 2022), suspension (Jan 2023), and emissions (May 2024).
  • Persistent advisories for worn tyres (Dec 2013) and anti-roll bar linkage (Dec 2013) indicate chronic wear.
  • The 2019 MOT gap suggests a period of off-road use or lack of maintenance.
  • Multiple recurring component failures (e.g., cv boot, exhaust) suggest a reactive, not proactive, maintenance approach.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-27, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (May 2026).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe platform.
