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 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 12,491 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its extremely low usage and recurring issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 45,692 miles over 18 years, averaging only 2,582 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 45,692 mi over 18 years (Feb 2019: 37,990 mi, Sep 2025: 45,692 mi).
  • Recurring 'Washer' advisory (Feb 2019, Jul 2020, Sep 2022) escalated to MAJOR failure (Jul 2020).
  • Recurring 'Brake disc' advisory (Sep 2021, Sep 2022) escalated to MAJOR failure (Jul 2020).
  • Recurring 'Exhaust' advisory (Jul 2020, Sep 2022) and 'Suspension' advisory (Jul 2020, Sep 2022) indicate widespread wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner is maintaining it well.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being very low, show regular use.
