2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · BF60 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 at 156,045 miles with no defects recorded. The long term maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a history of minor, recurring issues that were managed rather than permanently resolved. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,753 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer climbed from 126,957 to 141,502 miles. This period of higher intensity use coincides with the reappearance of sub frame corrosion advisories. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear sub frame. The tester flagged corrosion at both the August 2023 and August 2024 tests. While the record states it was not seriously weakened at that time, rust is progressive and requires a physical inspection to ensure structural integrity. The history also shows a persistent oil leak flagged annually from August 2020 through September 2022. Although it was described as not excessive, the buyer should check for active leaks or residue around the engine block. Suspension and braking components have shown intermittent wear. The car failed in September 2018 due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and had a play in the anti roll bar linkage in 2020. Brake pads and discs were flagged as worn or pitted in 2015 and 2017. Given the current mileage of 156,045, these consumables should be checked for current thickness and condition to avoid immediate replacement costs.
