MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Citroen Xsara (MD08 ELX) between August 2011 and May 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 07 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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: “Offside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength si”; “Nearside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength s”; “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
