AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Citroen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 25,071 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2023 service gap, raises significant concerns about its maintenance and true condition.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before October 2022 (55 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,893 miles per year since registration.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 5 failures and 7 passes over 12 tests indicates chronic neglect and recurring issues.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Suspiciously low mileage (55 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2022, then very low annual usage.
- RECURRING ADVISORIES: Brake disc wear (7 tests), exhaust issues (5 tests), and registration plate lamp (4 tests) show systemic neglect.
- SERVICE GAP: No MOT recorded for 2023, suggesting the vehicle may have been off-road or neglected during that period.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until September 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- NO ODOMETER FRAUD: While mileage is low, there are no recorded decreases or suspiciously round numbers.
- MILEAGE CONSISTENT: Once the initial anomaly, the subsequent annual mileage is consistent, albeit very low.
