AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Citroen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 23,821 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's history suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,545 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 65-mile retest in Aug 2020 warrants clarification.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Jul 2019, Aug 2020) and brake disc weaknesses (Jul 2019, Aug 2020) indicate chronic neglect.
- Multiple major failures for lights, suspension, and brakes across 2017 and 2022 MOTs show systemic issues.
- The 65-mile retest on 2020-08-11 is highly unusual and suggests a potential odometer discrepancy or data entry error.
- The 2025-12-01 MOT gap, though not explicitly stated as SORN, is a concern for unrecorded periods of non-use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,545 miles/year, aligning with UK usage.
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-13, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
