2012 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · SV62 AAF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a trend of developing minor wear-related defects. The most recent test in September 2021 at 114,637 miles passed despite notes regarding corrosion on both front brake hose ferrules and the exhaust mount. Given that the current date is July 2026, the MOT is now five years out of date, meaning the vehicle has not been legally verified for roadworthiness or environmental emission standards for a significant period. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year over the 14-year life of the Citroen. The data shows regular annual testing between 2015 and 2021, with a jump of roughly 13,000 miles between the 2019 and 2020 tests. However, the lack of any recorded tests since 2021 suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary for years or operated without legal compliance, which increases the risk of degraded rubber components and fluid breakdown. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension. The recurring mention of corrosion on the brake hose ferrules in both 2020 and 2021 suggests a persistent issue with moisture that could lead to sudden hose failure. Additionally, the 2019 advisory regarding a leaking nearside rear shock absorber should be checked for further degradation or total damping. The presence of undertrays noted in 2017 and 2020 also complicates a visual inspection of the chassis, requiring a thorough look to ensure no structural corrosion is hidden beneath the plastic shielding.
