AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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

This 2013 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 18,970 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a DANGEROUS defect and a 16-year-old car, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,922 miles/year, but a significant 86-mile increase between the April 2025 PASS and March 2026 FAIL is highly suspicious and warrants immediate investigation.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2016-09-20 for headlamp aim too low.
  • Five MOT failures across 14 tests, with recurring issues on brakes and tyres.
  • Brake disc advisories present in 10 separate tests since Sep 2018.
  • Tyre advisories present in 7 separate tests since Sep 2018.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
