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 1997 Citroen Zx (P227 CBV) between May 2022 and May 2024.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
