2013 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · E10 JBS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 68,746 miles passed despite advisories for pitted rear brake discs and thin pads. This suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical components once they approach an MOT failure threshold, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,746 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, with roughly 7,300 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which is consistent with the surface-level issues noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must inspect the front exhaust system specifically, as the defective mounting caused a failure in December 2024 and required immediate attention. The nearside front headlamp levelling device was flagged as inoperative in 2023, and while this appears corrected, the buyer should ensure the headlight adjustment remains stable and functional. Given the recent advisories for worn rear discs and thin pads, a physical check of the remaining brake material and the condition of the calipers is essential to ensure no immediate replacement is required post-purchase.
