AI verdict AVOID 29/100

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

This 2005 Citroen has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 18,190 miles. The recurring nature of major defects and numerous advisories indicates systemic neglect, making it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical 4,113-mile anomaly from 2005 to 2017, followed by suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 7,638 miles in 2023), which is highly suspicious and cannot be verified.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 4,113 miles recorded between 2005 and 2017, then suspiciously low annual usage.
  • Recurring Major Failures: Emissions (4 times), Engine/Oil (3 times), Suspension (6 times), and Brakes (6 times).
  • Dangerous Defects: Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Aug 2020), a critical safety issue.
  • Recent Major Failure: Exhaust Lambda reading outside limits (Aug 2025), a critical emissions system failure.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-26, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) in provided data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe platform.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history since 2008, with no significant gaps.
