2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · BT10 VTC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following recent mechanical setbacks. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 170,582 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previous issues. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent ability to pass tests without advisories suggests a proactive approach to necessary repairs rather than reactive neglect. At 170,582 miles over sixteen years, this Citroen C3 averages approximately 10,661 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a passenger car. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,700 miles covered between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 6,100 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which often helps prevent the seal-related issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in September 2023 and September 2024. Although the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, the recurring timing just before the annual test often points to items like light bulbs, minor fluid leaks, or emissions components. Given the high mileage, a close examination of the structural integrity of the underside for corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential to ensure that hidden wear is not developing beyond what the MOT record captures.
