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 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 16,957 miles. This fundamental discrepancy makes the vehicle unroadworthy and a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 5,373 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (6,945 miles in 12 months).

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' despite a 2025-11-24 expiry date — this is a critical safety and legal issue.
  • The 2025-11-24 MOT expiry date directly contradicts the 'Not valid' DVLA status, indicating a severe data anomaly or administrative error.
  • The vehicle has been off-road for extended periods, as evidenced by the 2022 MOT gap and very low annual mileage.
  • Multiple recurring failures and advisories for critical safety systems like tyres, brakes, and suspension indicate a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle due to the critical MOT status anomaly.
