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 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 16,039 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a significant mileage anomaly, raises serious questions about its true condition and maintenance.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: a 16,192 mi/yr equivalent jump before Jan 2020, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 947 mi in 2023).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures on 2023-08-31 and 2023-09-01 indicate severe neglect.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2025) suggest chronic wear.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories across 4 tests (2015, 2016, 2018, 2025) point to ongoing corrosion.
  • Unusually high mileage jump (16,192 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 202

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until 2026-10-14, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The vehicle has a valid tax status, suggesting it is currently registered and compliant.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
