This 2008 Citroen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 20,128 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests potential underlying problems.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 223 miles/year equivalent before Nov 2021, followed by a significant spike in usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.
