MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Citroen Xsara (YT55 RYD) between November 2008 and May 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 24 May 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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 Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases rear silencer (6.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
