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 2001 Citroen Saxo (Y538 BDE) between March 2006 and November 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 20 November 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (12 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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 Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak center pipe (8.2.1.1 (b))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
