MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Citroen C3 (EF55 OSU) between November 2008 and January 2017.

The record contains 10 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 28 January 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Macpherson strut has excessive movement in the upper support bearing assembly (2.5.B.1b)”; “Offside Front Macpherson strut has excessive movement at the upper attachment (2.5.A.1c)”.
