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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Citroen C15 (R855 CHU) between March 2006 and April 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 13 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (21 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Bodywork (11 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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: “Windscreen wiper not working (3.4 (a))”; “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Horn not working (7.7 (a))”.
