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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 28,767 miles. The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, but the recurring tyre and structural corrosion advisories warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, averaging 7,088 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (3,440 miles in 12 months), but no suspicious patterns or decreases.

Things to check

  • 2013-03-26 FAILED MOT for 'Offside Front Outer Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength sill' — a serious structural safety concern.
  • 2023-05-10 ADVISORY: Offside Front Outer Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength sill — indicates ongoing and severe corrosion.
  • 2025-05-14 ADVISORY: Nearside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing — a recurring tyre wear issue.
  • 2025-05-14 ADVISORY: Offside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt — another recurring suspension advisory.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,088 miles/year, indicating light use and less wear.
  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • The 2013 structural corrosion failure was immediately rectified, passing subsequent MOTs.
