2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · AF60 UDV

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, a pass recorded on 30 September 2024 at 98,790 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from August 2021 through to September 2024 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. The only anomaly is a failed entry logged on 30 September 2024 at the same mileage, carrying no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,174 miles per year against the 98,790 miles recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 77,105 miles in August 2021, 81,282 in August 2022, 85,882 in August 2023, and 98,790 by September 2024. The jump of nearly 13,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests is the largest in the sequence but remains moderate. The clean sweep of passes with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing in order, though the absence of any flagged wear items across four tests is unusual for a car of this age. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as sixteen years of age invites corrosion and consumable fatigue even when MOT testers log nothing. The identical-mileage fail with no defects warrants confirmation at the DVLA that the vehicle's status was correctly cleared and no outstanding test refusal applies. Given the sparse but clean record, treat the history as evidence of passed compliance rather than proof of mechanical condition. Prior owners met the legal minimum; they did not necessarily address worn components before advisory thresholds. A pre-purchase check of structural integrity underneath and exhaust emissions remains sensible on a 2010 hatch at this mileage.
