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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 19,216 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest a history of reactive repairs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,221 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows very low usage in the first 6 years.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (coil spring, 2019, 2023) and advisories (2021, 2023).
  • Recurring major lighting failures (2020, 2021) and advisories (2023).
  • Recurring major bodywork failure (plastic sill, 2019) and advisories (2023).
  • Recurring major CV boot failures (2019, 2023) and advisories (2021).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-13, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,221 miles/year since 2013.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
