AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Citroen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 26,209 miles. The mileage trajectory is suspiciously low for its age, raising significant concerns about its true condition and maintenance.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 7,887 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 26,209 miles recorded at its first MOT in June 2016, which is highly irregular for a 2013 vehicle.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 7 major failures and 16 tests over 13 years indicate chronic neglect and recurring mechanical issues.
- MILEAGE TRAJECTORY: Extremely low annual mileage of 7,887 miles/year for a 2013 vehicle is highly suspicious and warrants investigation.
- RECURRING ISSUES: Tyres, brakes, suspension, and ball joints show repeated failures and advisories, suggesting a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- DANGEROUS DEFECTS: Multiple DANGEROUS-rated defects (e.g., brake binding, excessive ball joint play) were recorded in the MOT history.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until July 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- MILEAGE CONSISTENCY: Once past the initial low-usage period, the vehicle has maintained consistent annual mileage, averaging 7,887 miles/year.
- NO ODOMETER FRAUD: The mileage trajectory shows no decreases or suspiciously round numbers, suggesting honest odometer readings despite low annual usage.
- Euro NCAP RATING: The vehicle holds a 4/5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), indicating good safety features for its time.
