AI verdict AVOID 43/100

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

This 2006 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 16,742 miles. The single recorded MOT in 2019 was immediately followed by a failure, and the vehicle has been untaxed since 2019.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until Apr 2019, but a significant anomaly exists: an unusually high mileage jump of 22,455 miles/year equivalent occurred before the Apr 2019 test.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the analysis date, with expiry 2020-10-24 — this is a legal road-use requirement.
  • The single MOT test on 2019-04-22 failed the same day, indicating a critical defect was present immediately after the initial test.
  • A 4-year MOT history gap exists between 2011-10-22 and 2019-04-22, which is highly unusual and raises serious questions about the vehicle's past.
  • The vehicle has been Untaxed since 2019, suggesting a prolonged period of non-compliance or inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures of the same system are evident in the provided MOT history.
  • The single recorded MOT in 2019 passed after an initial failure, suggesting a repair was made.
  • The vehicle has a Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017), indicating a reasonable level of safety for its age.
