2016 Citroen Nemo 1.2L Diesel · BW65 TUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in February 2025 at 106,203 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two weeks prior. That failure identified an excessively worn nearside front Macpherson strut upper mount and a damaged windscreen. While the suspension issue was seemingly rectified, the record indicates that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year to reach the current 106,203 miles. There is a notable two-year gap between the September 2022 and January 2024 tests, during which the vehicle covered roughly 5,500 miles. This period suggests intermittent use, though the 2024 advisory regarding a front oil leak at 101,860 miles indicates that engine seals were degrading during these longer intervals. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the replacement of the Macpherson strut mount did not leave secondary wear on the adjacent bushes or coil springs. The recorded oil leak from 2024 requires a close look at the sump tray and front seal to determine if the leak has worsened or remained stable. Additionally, given the nearside windscreen damage noted in early 2025, the glass should be checked for chips or cracks that could compromise structural integrity or driver visibility in future tests.
