MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Citroen C3 (CA52 APU) between November 2005 and January 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 13 January 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Wheel bearing has excessive play (5.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (5.3.2 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (5.3.2 (c))”.
