AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Citroen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 28,011 miles. The vehicle is not currently roadworthy due to its SORN status and expired MOT.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,271 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Two MOT failures in April 2008 (ABS warning lamp, 46,031 mi) and May 2010 (ABS warning lamp, 57,912 mi) suggest unresolved ABS issues.
  • Recurring tyre advisories in April 2008 and May 2010 indicate a pattern of wear, suggesting potential alignment or suspension issues.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN status with an expired MOT (2018-10-16), meaning it is not legally roadworthy and requires immediate re-registration and MOT.
  • The 24-year-old vehicle will likely have significant accumulated wear and tear, especially on suspension and steering components.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,271 mi/yr) suggests careful, light use, potentially extending component life.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering, only advisories for tyres.
  • The 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
