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

This 2012 Citroen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 35,906 miles. The mileage is low, but the pattern of neglect in maintenance is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 35,906 miles over 14 years, averaging 10,048 miles/year, which is consistent with UK driving.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear (Jul 2018) and suspension ball joint play (Apr 2016) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple failures for registration plate lamp (Jul 2017, Jul 2019) and front suspension bushes (Jul 2017, Jul 2019) point to poor maintenance.
  • The 'Untaxed' tax status and 'Not valid' MOT as of the report date require immediate verification.
  • The 2015-04-01 test shows 'Under-trays fitted obscuring some underside components' — a clear safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are explicitly flagged in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expiring in 2021, which is a positive for immediate roadworthiness.
