AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Citroen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 21,865 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2024-08-15, which is highly irregular for a 16-year-old car.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,025 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 16-year gap in MOT history is a major red flag.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2024-08-15 for a 2010 vehicle, a critical and unexplained anomaly.
- Four major failures across 2013–2023, including suspension, steering, and exhaust, indicating chronic neglect.
- Nine advisories, many recurring, point to systemic, unresolved issues with critical safety and wear components.
- Recurring steering rack and suspension advisories across multiple tests (2019–2023) signal structural weakness.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,025 miles/year, aligning with UK usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with an unusual expiry date for its age.
