2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · AF60 OYK

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2024 at 155,717 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 16 January 2023 at 145,399 miles shows no outstanding advisories. The single failure logged on 16 January 2023 at the same mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 9,732 across the vehicle's sixteen years, a typical figure for this age of car. The record shows 129,727 miles at the 18 January 2022 test, rising to 145,399 by January 2023 and 155,717 by January 2024. That is roughly 15,000 and 10,000 miles per year respectively, close to the long-term average. The four entries span 2022 to 2024 with no gaps exceeding twelve months, and all carried either a pass or a defect-free failure, so the history is sparse but clean. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 155,717-mile accumulation. No advisories for corrosion or exhaust emissions appear in the record, yet the absence of flagged wear does not confirm component condition at this mileage. The defect-free failure on 16 January 2023 warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA systems reflect a genuine no-fault rejection rather than a suppressed defect. Previous keepers maintained test compliance without lapse. The clean sheets suggest basic upkeep was not skipped, though high mileage means consumables such as tyres and wiper blades will need verifying in person. Treat the MOT as a snapshot, not a guarantee of drivetrain or structural integrity beyond the test dates.
