This 2004 Citroen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 31,395 miles. The vehicle is currently not valid for MOT and has a 22-year history of recurring major and minor defects.

The MOT history shows a critical 549,077-mile discrepancy between 19 Jun 2008 (44,420 mi) and 25 Jun 2008 (593,497 mi), and a subsequent decrease to 54,145 mi by Jun 2009, indicating a high risk of odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2008 (593,497 mi) and Jun 2009 (54,145 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 593,497 mi (25 Jun 2008) to 54,145 mi (18 Jun 2009) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • 7 major failures across lights, brakes, tyres, and windscreen on 18 Jun 2009, indicating systemic neglect.
  • 6 major failures for lights on 18 Jun 2009, a recurring issue since 2008, suggesting electrical faults.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe platform.
  • Consistent annual mileage of ~8,000 miles per year for its first 15 years of life.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last test in 2009.
  • The vehicle has been consistently tested for MOTs since its first test in 2004.
