AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Citroen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 34,717 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of suspension failures and advisories, coupled with unverified mileage for several years, warrants significant caution.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2022 (352 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a 3-year MOT gap (Jun 2018-Apr 2022) with unverified mileage, and then a significant drop in annual usage from 7,000+ miles to under 2,000 miles in recent years.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Suspension component mounting corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected (Jan 2023) — a serious structural safety concern.
- Recurring Suspension Failures: Offside Rear Coil Spring fractured (Apr 2022), then corroded mounting (Jan 2023) — indicates chronic structural weakness.
- Recurring Brake Disc Wear: Corroded on inner face and in vents (Jun 2018) — a recurring advisory that suggests a deeper issue.
- Mileage Anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2022 (352 mi/yr equivalent) and a
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-09 — provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No recent major failures: The last MOT failure was in January 2023, and the car has passed subsequent tests.
- Consistent recent mileage: Annual mileage has been consistently low since 2022, indicating a low-stress vehicle.
