2011 Citroen Nemo 1.2L Diesel · BT60 XCL

The overall roadworthiness of this 2011 Citroën NemO is currently unacceptable for safe driving, as the vehicle has failed multiple MOT tests within the past three years, indicating a lack of consistent maintenance. The most recent test on 2026-01-09 was passed, but the preceding failure on 2025-12-13 suggests that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced since that date, with the first MOT recorded at 113,089 miles. This gap of approximately two years between the two most recent valid MOTs is significant, as it leaves the vehicle exposed to the risks associated with uncorrected faults. The first MOT was passed at 113,168 miles, which is relatively low for a 2011 model, suggesting that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or maintained with less attention to detail than its age warrants. The mileage pattern reveals a clear trend of rapid accumulation and poor upkeep. The vehicle has logged over 113,000 miles since the first MOT, averaging roughly 37,000 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age but indicates a lack of regular maintenance. The gap between the 2023-12-02 and 2025-12-13 tests is particularly notable, as the vehicle was only tested at 108,629 miles before the failure occurred. This rapid mileage increase suggests that the owner may have skipped routine inspections or relied on a faulty service brake that was not adjusted, leading to a sudden loss of braking efficiency. The lack of a valid MOT between 2025 and 2026 confirms that the vehicle has not been properly inspected or maintained since the last valid MOT, leaving it vulnerable to further mechanical failure. Based on the recurring faults and structural risks identified, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to address the suspension, brakes, and structural integrity. The most critical issue is the offside front coil spring fracture or broken on the 2025-12-13 test, which indicates a serious mechanical failure that requires immediate repair or replacement. The offside rear position lamp adversely affected by another lamp on the 2023-12-02 test suggests a potential electrical or structural issue in the rear lighting system that needs checking. Additionally, the offside front shock absorbers have light misting of oil and reduced damping on the 2022-12-01 test, which could lead to premature failure. The offside upper and lower anti-roll bar ball joints have slight play on the 2022-12-01 test, which is a sign that the suspension components are not properly aligned and may eventually cause a loss of ride height or handling. Finally, the offside front brake discs have excessive fluctuation on the 2025-12-13 test, which could indicate worn or damaged brake pads and discs that require replacement.
