AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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

This 2004 Citroen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 11,600 miles. The pattern of recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems like tyres, brakes, and lights, combined with a 22-year-old age and low mileage, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage decrease is evident between Mar 2007 (11,600 mi) and Dec 2007 (9,364 mi), suggesting possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Mar 2007 (11,600 mi) and Dec 2007 (9,364 mi) — possible odometer tampering
  • Mileage decreased from 11,600 mi (Mar 2007) to 9,364 mi (Dec 2007) — potential odometer fraud.
  • No valid MOT on record since 2004, indicating the vehicle has been off-road for years.
  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories (Oct 2018, Jul 2021) indicate chronic neglect of critical safety components.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a basic level of safety for its time.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been off-road for many years.
  • Low annual mileage (3,519 mi/yr) means minimal wear and tear on engine and transmission.
  • No recent dangerous defects recorded, as the vehicle has no current MOT status.
