MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Citroen C3 (SM54 AEU) between September 2007 and May 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 09 May 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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: “Offside rear brake binding (3.7.B.1)”; “Offside front brake binding (3.7.B.1)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
