MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Citroen Saxo (P726 AFH) between June 2006 and August 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 27 August 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (32 issues), Brakes (23 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (15 issues), Tyres (12 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 81 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Oil leaking excessively from engine (8.4.1 (a) (i))”; “Emissions not tested Due to obvious exhaust leak and major engine oil leak (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Exhaust silencer likely to become detached (8.1.1 (b) (ii))”.
