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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 19,255 miles. While recent failures were addressed, the history of wear on critical components warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle exhibits extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,781 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,526 miles in 2025-2026).
Things to check
- Recurring steering/suspension faults (Feb 2022, Feb 2024) indicate chronic wear on critical systems.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,781 mi/yr) suggests long periods of inactivity, potentially harming components.
- Major failures for steering (Feb 2022) and suspension (Feb 2024) point to structural neglect.
- The 2014-02-14 FAILED MOT for a wiper, though minor, shows a lack of proactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Current valid MOT until 2027-03-01 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
- All major failures (steering, suspension, emissions) were promptly rectified and passed subsequent tests.
