2007 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · AD07 MGU

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 37,140 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 21 October 2024 at 34,227 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2007 vehicle. The test on 14 September 2023 shows 28,352 miles, rising only to 28,123 miles by 22 September 2022, a net reduction that indicates a data anomaly or prior odometer irregularity rather than genuine use. From September 2023 to October 2024 the car covered 5,875 miles, then 2,913 miles to October 2025, averaging under 2,000 miles per year overall. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerate rubber perishing, suspension bush degradation, and brake caliper binding through disuse. A failed test on 21 October 2024 at 34,227 miles carries no listed defect, implying an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass the same day. The DVSA record shows no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for age-related fatigue invisible to a pass-only MOT. Verify the odometer discrepancy against service invoices. Check tyres and wiper blades for perishing from low-use storage, and confirm underside condition for early rust before purchase.
