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 2003 Citroen C3 (DV53 AWO) between February 2007 and December 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 02 December 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 40 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: “Nearside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases front and centre areas (6.1.2 (a))”.
