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

This 2009 Citroen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 19,480 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests potential underlying problems.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 100k miles in April 2019 to 117k miles in November 2020, then a sharp increase to 147k miles by January 2025, indicating a major usage change or potential fraud.

Things to check

  • Major brake failure in April 2019, followed by recurring advisories for over 5 years.
  • Suspension advisories for anti-roll bar link and shock absorber in 2022 and 2023.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (2012, 2022, 2023) and a 2022 seatbelt issue.
  • Mileage dropped from 100k to 117k miles between April 2019 and November 2020.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,172 miles/year since 2019.
  • No persistent DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • All 3 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) for a 2009 model is positive.
