Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this vehicle, do not be misled by the low odometer reading alone. The MOT records suggest the car has likely spent long periods stationary, which is evidenced by the repeated mentions of 'cracking or perishing' tyres and bushes. You should check if the tyres are relatively new or if they are aged rubber that looks fine but is structurally unsound.
Negotiate based on the documented history of corrosion and component wear. Ask for evidence of any work carried out to address the sub-frame corrosion noted in 2023 and the brake hose issues that have appeared in multiple tests. A full service history is essential to see if the low mileage has been matched by regular oil changes, especially given the oil leak noted in 2022.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs are generally moderate for a small hatchback. You can expect typical fuel economy for a 2015 C3, though actual MPG will depend on how much of the driving is urban versus motorway.
Insurance groups for this engine size are usually mid-range for the supermini segment. Maintenance costs may be slightly higher than average in the short term due to the need to replace perishing rubber components (tyres, bushes, and hoses) identified in recent MOTs. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £900-£1,100.
A priority inspection must be the underside of the vehicle. The 2023 MOT specifically flagged the front sub-frame as corroded, so you must check the extent of this rust to ensure it is not progressing. Additionally, inspect the rear brake hoses; these have been flagged for corrosion to the ferrule in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Check all rubber components thoroughly. The MOT history shows a consistent trend of perishing tyres and front bottom arm rear bushes. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of the oil leak that was recorded in the 2022 MOT to ensure it has been rectified.
This 2015 Red Citroen C3 presents an unusual profile with very low mileage, having covered only 11,801 miles since its first registration in January 2015. However, the MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring advisories and failures, specifically regarding tyre condition, brake hose corrosion, and sub-frame rust. The vehicle's low usage may be contributing to the perishing of rubber components like tyres and bushes.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen C3 model to provide a comparative benchmark.
