AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2008 Citroen has 26 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 13,429 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2008 model, raises significant reliability and safety concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 6,756 miles/year, averaging only 13,429 miles over 18 years, which is highly unusual for a 2008 vehicle.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded in Oct 2011 (13,429 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • 7 test failures across 14 MOTs (Apr 2019–Oct 2025) indicates chronic maintenance neglect.
  • 31 recurring advisories across multiple systems (brakes, suspension, engine oil) — consistent wear pattern.
  • 4 DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded (Oct 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2023) — repeated safety failures.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No mileage anomalies or fraud detected — consistent, albeit low, annual usage.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects in the last 12 months — immediate safety concerns are not fresh.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
