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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 86,818 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the 'Not valid' DVLA status and high usage warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 21,109 miles per year, with a significant spike in 2023 (29,547 miles) and a notable drop in 2021 (5,549 miles) compared to its average.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' as per DVLA data, despite a recent pass.
- High annual mileage (21,109 mi/yr) significantly exceeds UK average (8,000 mi/yr).
- Recurring brake advisories (2017, 2022, 2023) and tyre wear (2017, 2022) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- The 2015-05-13 MOT failure for a front CV joint gaiter is a significant early wear item.
Working in its favour
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures (e.g., 2015-05-14 retest PASS).
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are evident in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, despite the DVLA status, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
