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

This 2003 Citroen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 39,108 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and past neglect warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 10,456 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a 16,127-mile increase between Feb 2011 and Feb 2012.

Things to check

  • Recurring exhaust advisories (Apr 2008, Feb 2011) escalated to a failure (Feb 2011).
  • Brake system advisories (Feb 2010, Feb 2012) and a major failure (Feb 2012) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Headlamp advisories (Apr 2008) escalated to a failure (Feb 2011).
  • Track rod end ball joint excessive play (Mar 2007) is a significant steering component failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 10,456 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
