2016 Citroen Nemo 1.2L Diesel · ML16 FHW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2025 at 86,013 miles passed without major failures, the advisory noted both rear tyres were worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests that the owner tends to address components only when they approach failure thresholds. The overall trend remains stable but reflects a lack of preventative maintenance regarding consumable items. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. There was a gap of 15,858 miles between the January 2024 and April 2025 tests, following a similar interval of 12,773 miles between June 2022 and January 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car has seen regular road use, which is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and braking components compared to the corrosion and seal issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the 2024 test flagged oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. Given the age of the vehicle and the mileage, the opposite shock is likely also be nearing the end of its functional life. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the 2021 record noted low front pads, and the recent 2025 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear could indicate a binding caliper or poor alignment that has gone unaddressed. The history of recurring minor electrical faults, such as the registration plate lamp and side repeater, indicates basic bulb checks are overlooked between annual tests. The buyer must verify that all external lighting is currently fully operational. Furthermore, checking the current tyres for sidewall cracking is essential, as the 2021 record highlighted age-related rubber degradation which this vehicle seems prone to despite sufficient tread depth.
