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

This 2004 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 53,489 miles. However, the vehicle's first MOT was performed 15 years late in 2009, and it has been off the road since 2019.

The single MOT test in May 2019 recorded 108,234 miles, which is consistent with normal annual usage of approximately 7,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • First MOT performed 15 years late on 2009-04-02, indicating a significant lapse in roadworthiness checks.
  • Vehicle has been off the road since 2019, with no MOT status since the 2019 test.
  • No MOT history available for the 2004–2008 period, a critical omission for a 22-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Single MOT test on 2009-04-02 passed without any failures or advisories, showing a clean record at that time.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory from 2004 to 2019, averaging 7,000 miles per year, indicating normal usage.
  • No recurring failures or advisories recorded in the available MOT history, suggesting a single isolated issue.
