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

This 2008 Citroen has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 5,297 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a significant mileage anomaly, raises serious questions about its true condition and usage.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 2,718 miles/year, but a significant 8,365-mile jump before Sep 2023 is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed on 2022-09-28, indicating a severe safety hazard.
  • Recurring Suspension failures: Major failures on 2023-09-27 and 2025-10-01, with 8 related advisories.
  • Recurring Brake failures: Major failures on 2022-09-28 and 2025-10-01, with 13 related advisories.
  • Recurring Anti-roll bar bush wear: Major failure on 2023-09-27 and 2025-10-01, with 5 related advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-13, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage decreases or suspiciously round numbers in the recent history.
  • All past failures were retested and passed, showing immediate owner action.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided data.
