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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 27,755 miles. The mileage is unusually low for its age, which warrants careful investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,684 miles per year, with a notable drop to 2,167 miles between Dec 2020 and Dec 2021, suggesting periods of very light use.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc and pad advisories across 7 tests (Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Nov 2024, Nov 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Persistent CV boot split advisory (Jan 2018, Jan 2018, Jan 2018) suggests a long-standing, unresolved issue.
- Recurring lighting failures (Jan 2018, Jan 2018, Jan 2018) and tyre advisories (Jan 2018, Jan 2018, Jan 2018) point to a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- Unusually low annual mileage (5,684 mi/yr) for a 2012 vehicle raises questions about its true usage and potential for long periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-18 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud; mileage trajectory is consistent, albeit low.
