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

This 2005 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 11,768 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring nature of issues like tyres and exhaust points to a pattern of neglect.

Mileage is consistent at 8,831 miles/year, averaging 10,000 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a 19,562-mile jump in 2015.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Seat belt damaged (Mar 2008) — a critical safety hazard.
  • Recurring Tyres: 6 advisories across 4 tests (Apr 2011, Apr 2012, Apr 2013, Apr 2014) — consistent wear pattern.
  • Recurring Exhaust: 3 advisories across 3 tests (Apr 2012, Apr 2013, Apr 2014) — persistent support issue.
  • Recurring Registration Plate Lamp: 2 advisories across 2 tests (Apr 2011, Apr 2013) — repeated electrical fault.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent Mileage: Average 8,831 miles/year, no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Immediate Retests: All 6 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • No Recent Failures: The last MOT failure was in March 2018, over 6 years ago.
  • Euro NCAP Safety: 4/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
