2013 CITROEN NEMO1.2L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in October 2023 passed with no defects, the immediate failure just one day prior highlights a lapse in basic equipment inspections. That failure included multiple bulb failures, a deficient washer fluid system, and a critical offside front tyre failure with exposed cords. This trend suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when necessitated by the testing process itself rather than performing routine pre-checks. Mileage data becomes increasingly sparse in later years, making it difficult to determine annual usage patterns. Between September 2017 and October 2018, the vehicle covered 21,606 miles, suggesting high-intensity usage. However, the record jumps from 119,670 miles in September 2019 to 128,700 miles in October 2021. The lack of recorded mileage for the 2022 and 2023 tests prevents an accurate assessment of current wear-and-tear rates or the consistency of the service intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the lighting and electrical assemblies, as the record shows recurring issues with indicators, position lamps, and stop lamps. The 2017 failure regarding the seat belt locking mechanism also warrants a physical check to ensure the safety restraint remains fully functional. Given the 2023 failure for a tyre worn on the edge, a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment is necessary to ensure no uneven mechanical wear is present. No structural corrosion or brake binding issues were flagged, but the historical focus on consumable faults suggests deeper mechanical components may have been neglected.
