MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Citroen Xsara (R834 EGF) between June 2006 and October 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (19 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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: “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced *Outer sill area (7.1.1 (a) (i)”; “Nearside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
