This 2012 Citroen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 20,059 miles. The vehicle's past issues and unexplained mileage anomalies make it a high-risk purchase.
A critical mileage decrease was detected between Apr 2019 (76,657 mi) and Sep 2020 (58,113 mi), indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Apr 2019 (76,657 mi) and Sep 2020 (58,113 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased significantly between Apr 2019 (76,657 mi) and Sep 2020 (58,113 mi).
- Recurring major failures in lights (4 times), brakes (3 times), and suspension (2 times).
- Engine/Oil major failure in Sep 2021, followed by a retest PASS, is a red flag for underlying issues.
Working in its favour
- Current MOT is valid until August 2026, indicating it recently passed inspection.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided MOT data.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage for its age.
- No recent major failures or advisories in the most recent MOT tests.
