CITROEN C32012 · 1.4L Diesel

The 2012 Citroen C3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-05-30 at 59,865 miles, which passed with no defects. Previous tests from 2024-05-31 (58,159 miles) and 2023-07-12 (55,143 miles) also passed, though an entry on the same date shows a failed result with no recorded defects. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the latest outcome confirms the vehicle remains compliant. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the record, suggesting consistent maintenance or absence of critical faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,865 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 4,276 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like rubber seals, fluids, and electrical systems. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, with no gaps exceeding 12 months. The 2022-07-22 test at 52,361 miles marked the earliest recorded data, showing no defects, while the 2023-07-12 entry—despite a failed status—also noted no specific issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of dry rot in rubber components, corrosion in underbody areas, and potential stiffness in suspension bushes or coil springs due to low mileage. While no brake or exhaust defects are documented, the absence of tyre tread measurements in the record warrants checking for uneven wear or insufficient depth. The lack of structural rust reports is positive, but a physical inspection of the chassis and body seams is advisable to confirm integrity, particularly given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern.
