MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Citroen C3 (SP52 XWV) between January 2006 and December 2013.

The record contains 8 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 03 December 2013 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: Lighting (13 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
