Our Verdict

Approach this 2003 Citroen Saxo with significant caution due to repeated MOT failures and persistent mechanical faults. The most recent 2026 test still shows unresolved corrosion and running-gear issues despite a pass being issued the same day as a fail.

Given the repeated MOT failures on this Silver 2003 Saxo, negotiate firmly on price or walk away unless the seller can prove recent rectification of the February 2026 fail items: CO emissions, insecure rear exhaust, and the stop lamp fault from 2025. Ask for a full service history and evidence that the brake pipes, hoses, and offside rear wheel bearing have been properly addressed, as corrosion and play have been flagged across three consecutive years. This model has no aggregate reliability data available, so judge condition purely on the individual history, which suggests an elderly car kept on the road with minimal spend.
