2015 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · CF15 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 61,596 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical or emissions-related issue was rectified immediately to meet minimum legal standards, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet in all subsequent annual inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 39,683 miles and October 2023 at 47,365 miles, the car covered roughly 7,700 miles, indicating light annual use. The gap of 7,234 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests follows this consistent trend. Such low mileage often results in less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can occasionally lead to dry seals if the vehicle sits for long periods. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or suspension wear, a buyer should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based fatigue. Inspect the rubber components and suspension bushes for cracking, as these can perish over a decade regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting since low-use vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the braking surfaces. The unexplained failure in September 2025 warrants a brief inquiry into the specific repair performed to ensure the fix was permanent rather than a temporary adjustment.
