AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Citroen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 15,536 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with safety-critical systems demand thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 7,380 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a 119-mile jump in Dec 2023.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2025-12-19 (test 15) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring suspension arm ball joint failures across 5 separate MOT tests (2019–2025).
  • Persistent windscreen washer failures on 2018-01-02 and 2018-12-19, escalating to MAJOR.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories on 2020-12-15, 2021-12-16, 2022-12-15, 2023-12-14, 2024-12-13, 2025-12-19.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-01, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,380 miles/year, suggesting normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests promptly.
