2008 Citroen Nemo 1.4L Diesel · SD58 VST

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate, but the mechanical history reveals a critical structural failure. While it passed the most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 83,486 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior. The maintenance trend appears volatile, as the vehicle moved from a clean pass in late 2024 to severe structural degradation in late 2025. The rapid transition from failure to pass suggests that reactive repairs were performed abruptly rather than a proactive long-term maintenance strategy. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. This suggests the car spent significant time stationary. However, the data shows a period of extreme low usage; between November 2024 (79,180 miles) and November 2025 (83,481 miles), the car covered only 4,301 miles in a year. Such low usage often correlates with environmental damage, which explains the advanced corrosion noted on the sub-frame and floor during the November 2025 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to ensure the structural repairs following the November 2025 failure were adequate. The tester previously flagged the sub-frame as seriously weakened and corroded, which prevented a brake performance test. You must verify that the corrosion has halted. Furthermore, the February 2026 failure highlighted twisted brake hoses, a binding nearside front caliper, and worn anti-roll bar linkage joints. These issues indicate that while the structural rust was addressed, the secondary mechanical and braking components were neglected and require close monitoring to ensure continued safety.
