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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,126 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the underlying issues and unexplained mileage anomalies warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 3,237 miles/year, with a significant 3-year gap (Jul 2019-Sep 2022) where no MOT tests were recorded, indicating unverified usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (3 DANGEROUS, 1 MAJOR) across multiple tests, indicating a systemic issue.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,237 mi/yr) with a 3-year MOT gap (Jul 2019-Sep 2022), raising serious questions about its history.
  • Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit (Jul 2018) — a recurring advisory that needs immediate attention.
  • Exhaust Lambda reading outside limits (Sep 2022) — a major emissions failure that was not fully resolved.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the current owner has maintained it to pass standards.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory since the last MOT, showing no signs of tampering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
