AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Citroen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 16,123 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and poor maintenance makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,654 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this low usage is a known Citroen Ami weakness.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2015-12-18, a critical safety failure.
- Recurring brake hose advisories across 4 tests (2016, 2020, 2021, 2025) indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring headlamp aim failures on 2016-12-20 and 2025-10-31 show persistent electrical issues.
- Recurring exhaust advisories across 3 tests (2016, 2020, 2021) suggest ongoing corrosion or leaks.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Mileage is consistently low, averaging 5,654 miles/year, suggesting light use.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No major structural corrosion or chassis failures are evident in the MOT history.
