This 2002 Citroen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 61,225 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and numerous past failures make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 13,470 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable 7-year period (2007-2010) of very low annual mileage (e.g., 3 miles in 2009).
Things to check
- 2002 registration with no valid MOT since 2011-01-10.
- Recurring major failures in lights (7 times), suspension (4 times), and tyres (3 times).
- Dangerous defects recorded for excessive play in ball joints (Dec 2005, Jan 2008).
- High annual mileage (13,470 mi/yr) suggests heavy use, accelerating wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- No specific green flags identified for this vehicle's MOT history.
