MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Citroen C3 (SP53 KGU) between June 2006 and January 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 15 January 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 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: “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the in”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Offside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (1.4.A.2f)”.
