AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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

This 2003 Citroen has 26 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 11,640 miles. The recurring advisories for critical systems like exhaust and emissions, combined with a 20-year gap in MOT records, present an unacceptable risk.

The vehicle shows no mileage recorded between 2003 and 2012, followed by extremely low annual usage (average 2,127 miles/year) from 2012 onwards, indicating a severe data integrity issue.

Things to check

  • No mileage recorded for the first 11 years (2003–2012) — critical data integrity gap.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (2,127 mi/yr) since 2012 suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • Recurring advisories on critical systems like exhaust and emissions across multiple tests.
  • Multiple recurring minor failures (horn, washer, indicators) suggest chronic electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last few tests.
  • Consistent, albeit very low, annual mileage since 2012.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
