2011 Citroen Nemo 1.4L Diesel · AX60 ARU

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of recurring mechanical failures and deferred maintenance. While the most recent MOT test in January 2024 at 83,403 miles was a pass, it followed an immediate failure for faults involving steering, suspension, and safety equipment. The persistence of play in the steering rack inner joints and leaking offside front shock absorbers indicates that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than through a proactive service schedule. At 83,403 miles, the Citroen Nemo shows significantly low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year. However, this low usage pattern correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. Between January 2022 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 28,016 miles, yet the record shows consistent issues with perished rubber components and corrosion. The history of cracked tyres as far back as 2014 and again in 2024 suggests the car sits stationary for long periods, leading to dry rot and brake oxidation despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and steering assembly. The history shows multiple broken coil springs in 2016 and ongoing issues with the steering rack inner joints as of 2024. The braking system also demonstrates a pattern of neglect, with corroded and pitted discs noted in almost every test between 2016 and 2020. Given the recent failure for perished tyres and a damaged windscreen, the physical condition of all rubber seals and the integrity of the glass require verification to ensure the previous owner has actually rectified flagged faults since the last test.
