2014 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · AK64 ACZ

The 2014 Citroen C3 shows a stable roadworthiness trend with no mechanical defects logged across its recent MOT history. DVSA testers passed the vehicle at 49,714 miles on 7 May 2025 with no advisories recorded. Earlier that same day a test at 49,711 miles failed with no defects listed, a procedural anomaly pointing to administrative rather than mechanical cause. Prior examinations on 7 May 2024 at 40,364 miles, 9 November 2023 at 39,188 miles, and 15 November 2022 at 36,167 miles all returned passes with clean sheets. The upkeep pattern reflects consistent care free of recurring faults. Mileage accumulation stays low for a twelve-year-old hatchback. The odometer read 36,167 miles in November 2022, climbed to 39,188 by November 2023, then 40,364 in May 2024, and reached 49,714 by May 2025. That final increase of roughly 9,350 miles across twelve months exceeds the earlier annual creep but still equates to about 4,100 miles per year since new. Such figures imply light use with probable long stationary periods. The record is sparse before 2022 yet shows no testing gaps in the last three cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components not always exposed in a static test. Testers flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, but twelve years of service and likely inactivity invite micro-corrosion on structural sills and stiffness in rubber mounts. Check the subframe for rust and confirm rear calipers are not binding after standing. The anomalous May 2025 failure with zero defects demands verification of the V5C and MOT certificate to exclude clerical error.
