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

This 2002 Citroen has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 19,331 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with recurring emissions and suspension issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging only 4,786 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of only 354 miles recorded between Jan 2002 and Jul 2012.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Jul 2011 – Jul 2012)
  • Deeply troubled MOT history: 8 failures and 11 passes across 19 tests.
  • Critical 2013 service gap: No MOT recorded for an entire year, indicating potential neglect.
  • Recurring emissions failures: 3 major failures and 2 advisories, a persistent and serious issue.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a basic level of safety.
  • Consistent retest passes: 10 of 19 tests were retested and passed immediately.
  • No recent major failures: The last MOT failure was in Jan 2017, over 7 years ago.
  • No mileage fraud: While low, the mileage trajectory shows no suspicious drops or round numbers.
