Our Verdict

A budget-friendly city car that requires careful consideration of its age. While it passed its most recent test, the high mileage and recent MOT failures suggest it is nearing significant maintenance.

When inspecting this 03-plate C3, your priority should be the service history. Given the 120,000+ mile mark, you must verify that the timing belt has been replaced recently, as failure here is catastrophic for this engine. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block, which are common on older French cars of this era.

Negotiate based on the recent MOT failures. Although the car currently passes MOT, the fact that it failed twice in a short period suggests components like bulbs, tyres, or suspension are reaching the end of their life. Test the clutch for slip and listen for suspension knocks, as these are common points of wear on high-mileage C3.
