This 2008 Citroen has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 17,885 miles. The extremely low mileage of 17,885 miles over 18 years is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,216 miles per year, with a 10-year gap from 2011 to 2021 showing only 3,266 miles, raising serious questions about its maintenance and usage.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage of 17,885 miles over 18 years (Jan 2008 to Nov 2025) — well below UK average.
- 5 MOT failures recorded across 13 tests, indicating a pattern of recurring mechanical issues.
- 7 major failures related to lights and suspension components, with no clear resolution.
- Recurring suspension issues: offside front anti-roll bar link advisory (Oct 2019) escalated to major failure (Nov 2023).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Current valid MOT until 2026-11-14, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
