2012 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · YL12 AKY

This 2012 Citroen C3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 7 June 2025 at 112,051 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 6 June 2025 and 13 May 2024, these failures were resolved on the same or following day, indicating a reactive approach to maintenance rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,004 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between May 2024 and June 2025, where the odometer rose from 103,020 to 112,051 miles. This represents a period of higher intensity use compared to the 4,215 miles covered between May 2023 and May 2024. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration. A buyer should verify if the vehicle has undergone significant off-record servicing or if the MOT testers were lenient regarding common age-related wear. Physical inspection should focus on the chassis and suspension components to ensure no structural rust has been overlooked. Given the lack of recorded defects, checking the condition of the tyres and the depth of the brake pads is necessary to confirm that basic consumables are being managed. Verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is critical, as these are high-priority maintenance items for this engine that do not appear on an MOT certificate.
