2022 Citroen AMI Electricity · AM11 CUB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 October 2025 with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 26 September 2025 resulted in a failure due to several major defects concerning the lighting system and associated controls, specifically missing or inoperative reversing, fog, and position lamps, as well as a faulty main beam switch. The rapid turnaround between the failure and the subsequent pass indicates that these issues were rectified promptly, suggesting a corrective maintenance trend rather than ongoing neglect. With a recorded mileage of 4,507 miles over approximately four years, this vehicle has been used very sparingly, averaging roughly 1,127 miles per year. While such low mileage typically implies minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. Long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of components that rely on regular movement and lubrication, which can be more detrimental than consistent, moderate use. Given the previous MOT failures regarding missing and inoperative electrical components, a thorough inspection of the lighting circuitry is essential. The buyer should verify that all lamps and switches are now fully functional and securely fitted, ensuring there are no intermittent faults or makeshift repairs. During a test drive, the buyer should operate every switch in the cabin to confirm the electrical integrity of the vehicle and ensure that the lighting system responds consistently without failure. Because the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, particular attention must be paid to age-related deterioration. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or signs of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Additionally, the 12V battery health should be tested, and the service history should be reviewed to ensure that calendar-based maintenance, such as fluid degradation checks, has been performed despite the low odometer reading.
