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

This 2002 Citroen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 27,551 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in these areas warrants a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,675 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures (2005, 2006, 2007, 2010) and advisories (2011) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Persistent lighting issues (headlamps, stop lamps, repeater) across multiple tests (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010) suggest poor maintenance.
  • Exhaust system advisories (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010) and one major failure (2010) point to ongoing corrosion or leaks.
  • The vehicle has been Untaxed since 2002, which is a significant red flag for a 24-year-old car.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,675 miles/year, indicating genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a history of recurring failures.
