2010 Citroen Nemo 1.4L Diesel · AV10 LOF

The most recent MOT test for this Citroën Nemo, conducted on 23 May 2024, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—including the current one—suggests a stable maintenance history, though the lack of defects does not preclude underlying issues. The October 2022 test is anomalous, showing a duplicate entry with no defects, which may indicate a data error or administrative oversight rather than a mechanical trend. Buyers should verify whether this was a genuine retest or a clerical repeat, as it does not reflect any mechanical pattern. Mileage data is insufficient to assess wear rates, but the 2023 test at 101,273 miles implies the vehicle has likely accumulated between 15,000 and 20,000 miles annually since then. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—just over six months—suggests consistent usage, though without further data, it’s impossible to determine whether this is typical for the model or indicative of aggressive driving. The absence of mileage on the 2024 test makes it impossible to gauge recent wear, but the 13-year age of the vehicle means suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers are likely approaching their serviceable limits. Given the lack of recorded defects, the most critical areas for a buyer to inspect in person are the suspension components, particularly the rear subframe and bushes, which often fail silently in this model. The brakes, including rear binding issues (common in older Citroën models), should be tested for uneven wear or caliper sticking. Structural integrity—especially around the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe—must be scrutinised for corrosion, as this is a frequent cause of MOT failures in vehicles of this age. The 2022 duplicate test raises curiosity about whether previous owners overlooked minor issues, so a thorough check of fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and tyre tread depth is essential.
