AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 19,770 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 19-year-old car, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 6,360 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 5 failures and 13 tests for a 2007 vehicle is extremely high and concerning.
  • MILEAGE: Only 19,770 miles in 19 years indicates very low usage, often a red flag for neglect.
  • RECURRING ISSUES: Brakes and suspension show recurring major failures and advisories, indicating systemic neglect.
  • AGE & WEAR: A 19-year-old vehicle with such a history of failures and advisories is a high-risk purchase.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2026-12-03.
  • MILEAGE: Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests regular use despite low numbers.
  • NO ODOMETER FRAUD: Mileage readings are consistent with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
