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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 29,416 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2021 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Dec 2020 (59 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,762 miles per year since registration.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2019-06-15 (215/45/17) — a critical safety failure.
- Recurring suspension advisories (2018-06-20, 2019-06-15, 2020-09-01) indicate ongoing wear.
- Major steering failure on 2022-03-01, with a related advisory on 2020-09-01, points to a recurring issue.
- Major exhaust failure on 2020-09-01, following an advisory on 2019-06-15, suggests a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Current valid MOT until 2027-04-04, indicating a recent pass.
- No mileage anomalies since the 2020-12-01 retest.
- All past failures were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Mar 2026).
