2010 Citroen Nemo 1.4L Diesel · SH10 AZF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 158,189 miles passed only after a significant failure involving multiple electrical faults, a damaged tyre, and a split drive shaft boot. While the immediate safety failures were rectified, the presence of a new advisory for a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play indicates that suspension components are beginning to degrade again, following a long trend of wear seen over the last several years. The mileage profile is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression from 80,262 miles in July 2016 to 158,189 miles in August 2025. This indicates no unusual gaps in usage, suggesting the car has been used regularly. However, the accumulation of nearly 78,000 miles in the last nine years correlates with the frequent failures of rubber-based components, such as bushes, boots, and mounting points recorded throughout the record. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a persistent history of worn MacphPherson strut mounts, suspension arm bushes, and fractured coil springs. The 2022 failure of both front coil springs and the 2023 advisory regarding strut mounts suggest the front end is under significant stress. Additionally, the 2025 failure for a split CV boot requires a close look to ensure that grit has not already entered the joint, which would lead to premature drive shaft failure. The electrical system appears prone to issues, with multiple failures related to inoperative indicators, hazard lamps, and stop lamps between 2019 and 2025. The buyer should verify the function of all external lighting and the glow plug warning light, which was a fault in 2024. Given the previous history of pitted brake discs and thin pads, the current state of the braking system should also be measured to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
