Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The most critical point for negotiation is the engine management light (MIL) failure recorded in February 2026. You should request evidence that the underlying fault was diagnosed and repaired, rather than the fault code simply being cleared to pass the test. Check the service records specifically for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are vital maintenance items for this engine variant.
Given the vehicle's use as a commercial van, check for interior wear and tear and ensure all load-carrying areas are structurally sound. Because the vehicle has failed MOTs on basic items like washer fluid and registration lamps, a thorough check of all electrical components is advised.
The 1.4L diesel engine is designed for economical urban running, offering competitive fuel efficiency for a small commercial vehicle. Insurance groups for the Nemo are typically low, and road tax for this era of diesel van is generally moderate, though you should verify the specific bracket for the 2012 model year.
Annual maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the vehicle's age. Expect to budget for regular oil changes and the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as brakes and tyres. Total estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, are likely to be in the mid-range for small vans.
Carefully inspect all tyres for wear and uneven tread, as the 2025 MOT failure for 'ply or cords exposed' indicates a previous instance of a tyre being driven beyond its safe limit. Check the operation of the windscreen washers and all exterior lighting, as these were specific points of failure in February 2026.
Perform a cold start and monitor the dashboard for any warning lights. Since the Engine MIL was a reason for failure in 2026, using an OBD-II scanner to check for pending or stored fault codes is highly recommended. Finally, inspect the bodywork for corrosion, which is common in vans of this age.
This grey 2012 Citroen Nemo diesel has recorded 96,745 miles. The MOT history shows passes in 2024, 2025, and 2026, though the two most recent years involved failures just days before the final pass. These failures included a tyre with exposed cords and an inoperative engine management light.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Citroen Nemo to provide a comparative reliability benchmark.
