2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · PE60 ACO

The Citroen C3 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 14 February 2022 at 86,575 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The vehicle cleared the final test without any defects or advisories logged. Prior to that pass, the car failed on 9 February 2022 at 86,569 miles, yet the tester recorded no specific defects, a pattern repeated when it failed on 25 January 2021 at 84,378 miles before passing four days later with no faults noted. Such fail-pass pairs without recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than escalating mechanical decline. At roughly 16 years old, the car shows 86,575 miles, an average of about 5,411 miles per year, which is low for its age and points to light use or extended standing periods. The records reveal a notable gap between the 23 May 2019 test at 68,395 miles and the January 2021 test at 84,378 miles, where 15,983 miles were covered in under 20 months, followed by only 2,197 miles up to February 2022. Low overall mileage combined with that mid-period spike implies the earlier life involved little movement, then a burst of regular running, then near-dormancy again. Because no advisories or defects appear across any test, the DVSA data alone shows no flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and brake caliper condition, as a 2010 vehicle with intermittent use risks seized components and hidden rust not captured in a clean MOT. The repeated no-defect failures warrant confirming the V5C and test centre notes to rule out clerical anomalies before purchase.
