The Citroen AX has an average MOT pass rate of 82.3%, which is 2.5 percentage points below the Citroen brand average of 84.7%. This is a strong result, indicating that the AX is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.
The most common reasons a Citroen AX fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, brakes imbalance across an axle such that the braking effort from any wheel is less than 70% of the maximum effort recorded from the other wheel on the same axle., emissions test unable to be completed. If you are preparing your AX for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Citroen AX, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
