AI verdict AVOID 45/100

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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 7,235 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety items like tyres and windscreen, combined with a 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2008 model, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,963 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting potential unreported mileage or extended periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jun 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2019-06-19, 2021-06-22, and 2021-06-22 retest.
  • Recurring windscreen damage advisories on 2012-06-21, 2013-07-02, and 2024-06-24.
  • Recurring seatbelt issues on 2014-06-26 and 2023-06-25.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-24, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the last test in June 2025.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory over its 18-year lifespan.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) in the provided data.
