AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Citroen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 17,908 miles. While recent MOTs show brake issues were addressed, the long absence of MOT records makes this vehicle too risky to purchase.
The vehicle shows a significant 4-year MOT history gap (Nov 2018–Jun 2023), with mileage unverified during this period, making its true usage and condition highly questionable.
Things to check
- Critical 4-year MOT history gap (Nov 2018–Jun 2023) — mileage unverified.
- DANGEROUS brake failure (Jun 2024) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake system failures across multiple tests (2013, 2015, 2024).
- Unverified mileage trajectory due to 4-year MOT gap (Nov 2018–Jun 2023).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No recurring failures on the same system after the dangerous defect (Jun 2024).
- Immediate retest PASS after the dangerous brake failure (Jun 2024).
