2008 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · AC08 CUW

The Citroen C3 passed its most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 104,402 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once minor administrative re-tests cleared. The failed entries on 24 July 2025 and 16 August 2024 listed no defects, pointing to paperwork or presentational issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 104,402 miles against an 18-year life, an average of roughly 5,800 miles per year. The odometer moved from 89,095 miles at the August 2023 test to 98,123 miles in August 2024, then to 104,402 miles by July 2025. That is about 9,000 miles in year one and 6,300 in year two, confirming light use with no rapid accumulation. Sparse history and zero advisories across all five entries suggest the car was lightly run and stored without heavy wear on consumables. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person despite the clean record. Low mileage and long standing periods can conceal perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroding brake discs or calipers that a pass with no advisories will not expose. The 2008 shell also warrants a structural check for underbody corrosion around sills and subframes. Given the two failure entries carried no recorded defects, previous owners likely attended to basic upkeep but may have used test centres loosely. Verify service history and physically examine steering, suspension, and exhaust emissions before purchase.
