2007 Citroen C3 Desire 1.4L Petrol · OEZ 1037

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 123,701 miles resulted in no defects, following a failure just one day prior at 123,696 miles. This isolated failure suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial component issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, as no specific defects were logged on the record for either entry. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between August 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 16,703 miles, indicating steady, low-impact usage rather than long periods of stationary or neglect. The intervals between tests are regular, with gaps of roughly 4,000 to 7,000 miles per year, which helps ensure the vehicle has not suffered from excessive time-related degradation affecting rubber components or brake systems. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for the Citroen C3 that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the rear sills and rear wheel arches, where corrosion often develops undetected on this model. The suspension should also be checked for perished bushes and the coil springs for hairline fractures, as the MOT does not always flag minor wear on these components unless they impact safety or handling geometry.
