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

This 2002 Citroen has 27 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 25,813 miles. The recurring tyre advisories also indicate potential underlying wear.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,654 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (1,586 miles in 12 months), suggesting limited use or potential mileage discrepancies.

Things to check

  • Unexplained MOT failure on 2008-01-08 for windscreen wipers; no defect details provided.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Very low annual mileage (2,654 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle is a major red flag for age-related wear.
  • The 2002 Citroen is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring daily charges in London.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, albeit very low, annual mileage suggests single-owner care.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 4/5 stars (2017) provides a moderate safety assurance.
