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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 58,767 miles. The vehicle's mileage shows a significant drop in usage, raising serious questions about its maintenance and safety.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in usage from July 2018 (106,854 mi) to May 2023 (123,844 mi), averaging only 17 miles per year, which is highly suspicious.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2012-08-13 (58,768 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • Major suspension failures on 2012-08-13 (58,768 mi) and 2014-08-11 (77,986 mi).
  • Major bodywork failure on 2014-08-11 (77,986 mi) — structural integrity concern.
  • Major windscreen failure on 2014-08-11 (77,986 mi) — safety and visibility.

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until April 2027, indicating a recent pass despite history.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the last MOT.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,822 miles/year since 2018.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
