AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Citroen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 5,673 miles.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,872 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,207 miles between Nov 2024 and Nov 2025).
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Dec 2015, Dec 2016) indicate a chronic issue.
- Exhaust advisory noted in the most recent MOT (Nov 2025) signals an immediate maintenance need.
- Major failure for excessively binding offside rear service brake (Dec 2023) points to ongoing brake system issues.
- The car's very low annual mileage (5,872 mi/yr) for a 2012 vehicle is a significant red flag.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-18 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
