This 2010 Citroen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 23,081 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2024-08-24, which is highly irregular.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,171 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2024-08-24, a critical and unexplained red flag.
  • Four test failures and seven major defects recorded across 10 MOT tests.
  • Recurring suspension arm play (flagged in 5 tests) and brake system failures (7 major failures).
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in 2015 and 2019, indicating severe past neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,171 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe platform.
