2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · BT60 AEC

The 2010 Citroen C3 exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-15 at 115,250 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s history shows repeated failures on the same date in 2025 and 2024, both at near-identical mileages, with no defects noted. This pattern suggests potential administrative errors or minor technical issues that did not meet failure criteria. The absence of recorded defects in passing tests indicates no critical mechanical or structural concerns in the last three years, though the recurring failures without explanation warrant further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,250 miles aligns with an average of 7,203 miles annually, consistent with its 16-year age. The 2023 test at 105,927 miles shows a 5,183-mile gap to the 2024 test, followed by a 4,143-mile increase to 2025. These increments reflect steady usage without abrupt spikes, suggesting regular operation. The MOT record lacks anomalies, with no advisories or corrosion issues flagged, implying no significant wear on bodywork or undercarriage. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points in older Citroen models. The absence of brake-related defects in passing tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the record, so checking for rust in chassis or body seams is advised. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no major red flags, but the recurring MOT failures without detail necessitate a thorough pre-purchase examination.
