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

This 2008 Citroen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 33,418 miles. The vehicle's mileage decreased significantly between 2017 and 2019, which is a strong indicator of potential odometer tampering.

The mileage decreased from 134,490 miles in June 2017 to 98,020 miles in May 2019, a clear and significant anomaly.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2017 (134,490 mi) and May 2019 (98,020 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 134,490 miles (Jun 2017) to 98,020 miles (May 2019) — potential odometer tampering.
  • Unusually high mileage jump before Jun 2017 (54,687 mi/yr equivalent) — inconsistent usage pattern.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (6) and steering rack advisories (3) across multiple tests — consistent wear patterns.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-07 — no immediate retest required.
  • No test failures recorded across 7 MOT tests — no safety-critical defects.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2019 (7,336 mi/yr average) — no recent spikes.
