2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · CC52 AEC

The May 2026 MOT at 57,674 miles passed the vehicle, confirming roadworthiness, but the tester flagged front windscreen wipers smearing, three brake discs with wear and pitting that did not seriously weaken them, a coolant leak and a slightly damaged offside front tyre. The maintenance record is largely stable, with no serious failures between the 2022 and 2025 tests and only incremental defects appearing in the most recent inspection. Mileage has risen from 46,321 miles in April 2022 to 57,674 miles in May 2026, an average of about 4,800 miles per year, which is low for a 12‑year‑old car and suggests limited use or long periods of standing; the increase between the 2025 and 2026 tests was modest at 1,736 miles, compared with larger jumps of 3,600‑plus miles in the preceding years, indicating consistent, moderate usage rather than rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the brake discs and pads for excessive scoring, verify that the coolant leak has been repaired and that the cooling system is sound, check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or wear, while also looking for any structural rust on the chassis or suspension components that could compromise long‑term integrity.
