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 71% pass rate and 31,526 miles. While many of these issues were addressed, the sheer volume of recurring faults and advisories indicates a vehicle that requires ongoing and significant maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,639 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing a steady increase from 0 miles in Jan 2013 to 97,910 miles in Oct 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Oct 2021), suspension (Oct 2022), and steering (Sep 2019) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Tyre advisories are present in 6 of 12 MOT tests, showing a persistent wear pattern across multiple years.
  • Engine oil leak and exhaust bracket issues were noted in Sep 2018, suggesting ongoing fluid and exhaust concerns.
  • The Oct 2024 retest shows a 245-mile increase in mileage, which is unusually low for a 12-month period.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,639 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, not suspiciously low.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified and passed retests, demonstrating responsive owner action.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, with consistent readings over 13 years.
