MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Citroen Saxo (P166 KDU) between July 2006 and December 2010.

The record contains 5 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 10 December 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 4 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 has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Nearside Rear rear brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.5a)”; “Nearside Front Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountin”.
