CITROEN NEMO2008 · 1.4L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 90,427 miles with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a significant improvement after a period of neglect in early 2025. While the car previously failed on multiple structural and suspension issues, the subsequent pass after the 8,000-mile interval indicates that the previous owner addressed critical mechanical failures to bring the car back to test standard. At 18 years old, the recorded 90,427 miles represent a low-usage profile, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 8,357 miles covered in the final year. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear, which aligns with the recurring suspension arm bush failures noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically targeting the subframes. The April 2025 test identified corrosion on the rear sub-frame and damage to the nearside front sub-frame. Although these did not cause a failure at that time, corrosion on Citroen models often progresses rapidly. The buyer should also inspect the rear coil springs for signs of rust or cracking, as these were flagged as corroded during the 2025 failure. The front suspension requires scrutiny as the arm pins and bushes were noted as worn in 2024 and excessively worn in early 2025. While these appear to have been replaced, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the components may be prone to premature wear. Additionally, the driver's door catch, which caused a failure in April 2025, should be tested to ensure the mechanism remains secure and does not suffer from further deterioration.
