AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Citroen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 18,448 miles. While these were addressed, the low annual mileage and repeated advisories for critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 3,990 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,723 miles between Nov 2022 and Nov 2023).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Nov 2020 advisory, Nov 2021 dangerous failure) and anti-roll bar bush advisories (Nov 2021, Oct 2024 major failure) indicate a history of wear-and-tear neglect.
- Brake system advisories (Nov 2021, Oct 2025) are recurring, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance needs.
- The vehicle's very low annual mileage (3,990 miles/yr) for a 2012 car is a significant red flag for potential long-term storage or very light use.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- All past MOT failures (tyres, brakes, anti-roll bar) were immediately rectified and passed on retest, demonstrating responsive ownership.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine usage.
