Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Citroen Ami?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Citroen Ami?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Citroen Ami?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Citroen Ami?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

2022 Citroen Ami

CarHunch analysed 313 real MOT records for the 2022 Citroen Ami. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Citroën Ami has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 61.8%, well below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these young vehicles are struggling with their first tests. The good news is that dangerous defects are exceptionally rare at 0.3%, so safety isn't the issue—this appears to be about minor teething problems rather than serious faults.

At an average mileage of 3,195 miles for vehicles tested, these Amis are still very young, yet they're failing at a notably high rate, implying some owner-related issues or manufacturing niggles rather than wear and tear. With only 0.05 failures per vehicle on average and zero advisories, most cars that do fail are hitting one specific problem each time, so if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection to identify what's tripping up the cohort and ensure yours is sound.
