Citroën Nemo MOT reliability

We do not show MOT figures for the Citroën Nemo. 81% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Citroën Nemo registrations over time

Registrations of Citroën Nemos for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 1,420 in 2009. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Nemo Multispace”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Gear selection may be affected as a result of electrical faults in some rare cases including the lighting of the warning lamp on the instrument panel and the driveability of the vehicle may be compromised.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the condition of the gearbox control harness and where necessary fit additional protection.
Vehicles affected
809 Nemo vehicles

All 5 Citroën Nemo recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

81% of the Citroën Nemos on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Citroën Nemo. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
