2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · BT59 FCU

The Citroen C3 passed its most recent MOT on 3 March 2025 at 112,186 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper as of that date. The maintenance trend shows a stable outcome at the final test, though the early 2025 and early 2024 records reveal a pattern of initial failures followed by rapid retests with no listed defects. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical degradation. Mileage sat at 98,155 miles for the January 2024 pass and rose to 112,186 by March 2025, an accumulation of roughly 14,000 miles in fourteen months against a long-term average near 7,000 miles per year. The car covered above-average distance in that window. Prior to that, the gap between the January 2024 failure at 97,994 miles and the March 2025 entries is the only sustained interval in the supplied history; the record is otherwise sparse and clean of advisories. The repeated failures on 23 January 2024, 24 January 2025 and 3 March 2025 with zero defects logged point to non-mechanical causes such as documentation or system errors rather than worn suspension bushes, corroded structures or failing brake discs. A buyer should still confirm in person that the exhaust, subframes and coil springs are free of corrosion and that tyres, wiper blades and brake calipers show no unrecorded wear. Given the age of sixteen years and 112,186 miles, a physical inspection of structural integrity underneath and around wheel arches remains sensible. The DVSA data alone offers no evidence of worsening faults, but absence of advisories does not confirm component condition.
