2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · BV10 VLP

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate from March 2024 at 172,885 miles. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend since the previous failure in February 2022. While the most recent test was successful, it recorded specific advisories concerning the wear on the front tyres and slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. These are noted as routine wear items and minor suspension concerns, rather than immediate structural risks. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 10,805 miles per year. The vehicle reached 163,325 miles in February 2022, the point of the previous failure, and has since accumulated mileage steadily. The subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024 confirm that the previous mechanical defects, specifically the exhaust emissions and the headlamp fault noted in 2022, have been resolved. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension components closely, paying particular attention to the offside front lower arm ball joint for any excessive movement or looseness. Tyre condition should be checked against the legal limits, as the front tyres were recorded as worn on the edge during the March 2024 test. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough visual inspection for structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, is recommended.
