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 19 MOT tests on record with a 53% pass rate and 15,785 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2022 service gap and numerous recurring issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,034 miles/year, with a significant 2022 service gap and inconsistent usage patterns, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Apr 2019 – May 2019)
- DANGEROUS suspension failure on 2017-04-15, a critical safety defect.
- 7 MOT failures and 6 passes over 13 tests indicates chronic neglect.
- Recurring major failures in suspension, emissions, brakes, and exhaust systems.
Working in its favour
- Current MOT is valid until 2026-10-03, indicating it is roadworthy now.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) suggests acceptable safety features.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, implying current issues are being addressed.
