MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Citroen Xantia (L796 PYB) between July 2005 and October 2024.

The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 31 October 2024 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 (35 issues), Lighting (23 issues), Tyres (21 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Bodywork (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 86 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 Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”.
