2012 Citroen Nemo 1.2L Diesel · AE12 HBX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in February 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the latest inspection only identified a minor suspension-related defect regarding a damaged offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover. This fault represents typical wear and tear rather than a mechanical failure, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained without significant structural degradation or mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 1,792 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 8,740 miles recorded between December 2022 and January 2024. This low annual mileage suggests the car is used for short-distance trips but has been driven regularly enough to avoid excessive stationary-, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber seals and braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry. The history notes previous play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage in early 2022 and a deteriorating track rod end cover in 2026. While these issues were rectified or noted, they indicate that the rubber bushings and ball joints are reaching the end of their service life. Checking the offside registration plate lamp is also necessary as this was a failure in 2022, and a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe is advisable given the vehicle's age and model.
