This 2016 Citroen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 40,553 miles.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual usage, averaging 9,826 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though recent annual mileage has been lower.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 12 instances since 2019 indicate a persistent wear issue.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint on 2026-05-29 suggests recent wear.
  • Multiple handbrake advisories on 2026-05-29 and 2026-05-29 point to an ongoing adjustment concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-29 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,826 miles/year suggests regular use.
