AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Citroen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 34,825 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring drive shaft boot failures and persistent advisories on tyres and brakes warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,779 miles/year, with a notable drop to 1,577 miles in the last 12 months (Aug 2025) after 15 years of normal use.
Things to check
- Recurring drive shaft boot failures (2019, 2021, 2022) indicate a chronic, unresolved issue.
- Persistent advisories on tyres (Dec 2019, 2020) and brakes (Dec 2020, 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- The recent low annual mileage (1,577 miles in 12 months) is unusual for a 15-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until August 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage averaging 9,779 miles/year, indicating normal usage for its age.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
