2016 Citroen Nemo 1.2L Diesel · YY16 NXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,792 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and unevenly. This represents an improvement from the September 2023 test where the vehicle failed on multiple safety-related items. While the immediate defects are resolved, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests deferred maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 4,102 miles, followed by another 5,260 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This low-mileage profile explains the presence of perishing and cracking tyres noted in 2023, as long periods of stationary use often lead to dry rot in rubber components rather than mechanical tread wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and fluid management system. The 2023 failure regarding the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage indicates wear in the steering geometry, which should be checked for play or further degradation. Furthermore, the recorded non-excessive oil leak from 2023 warrants a physical visual check of the engine seal and crankcase cover to ensure the leak has not worsened into a significant seep that could lead to oil starvation or engine failure. Given the history of exposed cords and perished rubber, the condition of all four tyres should be verified for sidewall cracking and age before purchase.
