2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · MJ10 AAX

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement in recent years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 101,030 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a period of consecutive clean passes dating back to 2022. This suggests that while the vehicle suffered from mechanical wear in its past, the current maintenance regime appears proactive in addressing developing issues before they result in MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation of distance between 34,949 miles in 2014 and 101,030 miles in early 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of stationary, which generally benefits seals and gaskets, though the low annual mileage on a sixteen-year-old car often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these areas showed recurring points of failure. Anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends were flagged multiple times between 2014 and 2021, indicating a tendency for ball joints to develop play. Additionally, the history notes frequent issues with brake disc corrosion and pad wear from 2014 through 2017. While these appear resolved in current, an inspector should check for uneven wear on the current discs or any play in the front steering geometry to ensure the previous faults have not returned.
