2016 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · WL16 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 41,356 miles. While the record shows immediate failures on the same dates in the 2025 and 2026 tests, the lack of any specific recorded defects or advisories across all passes suggests the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards without any ongoing mechanical or structural degradation being flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,136 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 2,745 miles, while it added another 2,521 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This low rate of use typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components or brake fluid moisture if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than high mileage. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as infrequent use often leads to pitting or seizing. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking dry rot, which occurs over time regardless of the distance driven. Since the MOT history shows no structural advisories, verify the integrity of the chassis and mounting points to ensure no hidden rust has developed that the standard inspections might miss.
