Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Citroen Ami Owners

These checks follow this Citroen Ami's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Citroen Ami.

• the wipers and washers — “washers provides insufficient washer liquid”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• the lights — “rear fog lamp missing”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.
