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

This 2009 Citroen has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 25,091 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high number of failures and advisories indicates significant and ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,056 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but there are unexplained MOT gaps in 2020 and 2022.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect recorded for suspension in Jan 2023, though later resolved.
  • Recurring major bodywork corrosion (sills) flagged in Jan 2021 and Jan 2023.
  • Persistent suspension arm ball joint advisories across 5 tests from 2019 to 2026.
  • Recurring integral body structure corrosion advisories across 4 tests from 2019 to 2023.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,056 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
