MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Citroen C3 (BV03 EXC) between March 2006 and April 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 06 April 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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: “Offside Rear position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Offside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Nearside Steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) (2.2.A.1b)”.
