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

This 2001 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 39,884 miles. However, the vehicle has been off the road since 2018, and a significant oil leak advisory from 2001 requires immediate attention.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,042 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine mileage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Centre Rear Fluid suspension unit leaking (Oct 2001) — a 25-year-old unresolved safety hazard.
  • Vehicle has been off the road since 2018 (SORN status) — no recent maintenance or safety checks.
  • Major suspension failure (Oct 2007) — though rectified, this is a 25-year-old vehicle.
  • Recurring headlamp aim issues (Oct 2005, Oct 2007) — indicates ongoing electrical or alignment problems.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,042 miles/year — no fraud indicators.
  • No recent MOT failures (last test Oct 2017) — the car was roadworthy at that time.
  • Single major failure (suspension, Oct 2007) — immediately rectified and passed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) — above-average safety for its era.
