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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 28,353 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated failures and advisories for critical systems demand thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,748 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2020 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures for lights (Jan 2019, Dec 2019) and emissions (Dec 2019, Jan 2021).
  • Persistent advisories for tyres (7 occurrences) and suspension (4 occurrences) across multiple tests.
  • Engine oil leak advisory noted in 9 separate MOT tests, indicating a chronic issue.
  • Major failure for exhaust emissions (Dec 2019, Jan 2021) and a 2020 service gap.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 18 years, averaging 7,748 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
