Citroen Saxo Sx D (1998)
1998 Citroen Saxo Sx D
CarHunch is tracking 107 1998 Citroen Saxo Sx D vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1998 Citroën Saxo SX diesel is essentially extinct on UK roads — every single one of the 107 vehicles in this cohort failed its MOT, compared to the 80% UK average pass rate. You're looking at a 26-year-old car that simply isn't surviving annual testing anymore, which tells you everything you need to know about mechanical durability in this age bracket.
The zero dangerous defects on record is almost meaningless when the entire sample fails inspection; what matters is that no working examples remain to analyse. If you're considering one of these cars, don't — the lack of any passing vehicles in our data means you're buying something that professional testers have already rejected as unsafe or unroadworthy.
We have 107 1998 Citroen Saxo Sx D vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1998 Citroen Saxo Sx D
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
