2016 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · WO65 AEJ

The vehicle presents a highly favourable roadworthiness profile with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 6 May 2025 at 43,347 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a streak of clean passes across the last five years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or progressive structural issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,335 miles per year. Between March 2021 at 19,069 miles and May 2025 at 43,347 miles, the car covered only 24,278 miles over four years. This low usage indicates light operation, which typically preserves the integrity of the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or flat-spotting of tyres if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these can become brittle or crack over time regardless of mileage. The brake discs should also be examined for pitting or corrosion, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently. Additionally, the engine should be checked for any minor fluid leaks to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying seal issues.
