2011 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · DG11 AAK

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 February 2026 at 93,810 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The February 2026 test came one day after a failure on 2 February 2026 at 93,796 miles, yet the record lists no defects for either event. An identical pattern occurred in February 2025, where a failure at 91,072 miles on 18 February was followed by a pass at 91,073 miles the same day with no defects logged. These back-to-back fail-pass pairs with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects. The odometer shows restrained use for a 2011 vehicle. From the 22 February 2024 pass at 87,795 miles, the car covered 3,278 miles to the February 2025 tests and a further 2,737 miles to February 2026, averaging well under 3,500 miles annually against a typical 6,254-mile expectation. The DVSA data is sparse, showing only five entries over the final three years with no advisories, corrosion notes, or worn consumables flagged at any stage. Low annual mileage of this order can mask degraded rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, or underbody corrosion from prolonged standing, none of which the clean record confirms or denies. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of the suspension arms and subframe for structural rust, given the car's age and likely periods of inactivity. The tester recorded no brake disc wear, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues, but the unexplained fail-pass sequences in February 2025 and February 2026 warrant a check of the VIN and test documentation to rule out clerical error. Verify tyre sidewall condition and wiper blade elasticity, as these consumables degrade with time irrespective of the 93,810-mile reading.
