AI verdict AVOID 39/100

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 23 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 19,527 miles. The vehicle's 17-year age, combined with a 19,527-mile odometer reading, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (10,161 miles/yr) for its age, with a suspiciously low 19,527 miles recorded in Oct 2012 after 3 years of expected usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded in Sep 2021 (test 2013-09-30) — immediate safety concern.
  • 7 major failures across 15 MOT tests (Sep 2018–Oct 2025) — consistent structural neglect.
  • 14 recurring advisories on the same components (exhaust, brake hose, wheel bearing, headlamp) — chronic issues.
  • Mileage of 19,527 miles in Oct 2012 is implausibly low for a 2009 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • MOT valid until 2026-10-05, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud detected in the provided MOT history.
  • No outstanding recalls or dangerous defects are explicitly flagged in the MOT record.
