MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Citroen C3 (HW53 DMF) between June 2023 and May 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 29 May 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 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: “Rear Seat belt missing all (seats folded down) (7.1.2 (a))”; “Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect both (4.1.2 (c))”; “Front Headlamp lens seriously defective both (4.1.1 (b) (ii))”.
