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

This 2007 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 38,157 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2023-10-26, which is a significant red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,008 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history reveals significant underlying mechanical issues.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' with expiry 2023-10-26 — vehicle is currently unroadworthy.
  • Recurring major failures: brakes (3), suspension (2), bodywork (2), and lights (4) across multiple tests.
  • High-concern advisories: brake disc wear (3 tests), sill integrity (5 tests), seatbelt anchorage (5 tests).
  • Dangerous defect: Tyres (1 DANGEROUS) on 2013-09-02 test.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,008 miles/year since registration.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual usage pattern over its 19-year lifespan.
