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 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 13,912 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of issues warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,951 miles per year, with a significant spike of 12,365 miles between July 2024 and December 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring exhaust leaks (2012, 2013) and suspension ball joint issues (2013) indicate chronic wear.
- Dangerous brake failure (Jul 2023) and recurring brake advisories (2011, 2012) point to ongoing brake system concerns.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,951 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle suggests minimal use and potential neglect.
- Multiple recurring light failures (2019, 2022) and wiper advisories (2022) suggest a pattern of neglected maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
- Valid MOT until December 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
