MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Citroen C3 (EO53 ARX) between September 2006 and June 2023.

The record contains 10 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 29 June 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content at idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”.
