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 Xsara (VE04 DGY) between July 2007 and September 2015.

The record contains 9 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 18 September 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (32 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Windscreen (11 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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: “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)”.
