2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · CE14 VCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 72,140 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a technical failure just two miles prior on the same day which also listed no defects. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative issue or a trivial component adjustment that was rectified immediately before the re-test, indicating that the mechanical and structural integrity currently meets passing standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between December 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 16,936 miles, with another 6,521 miles recorded in the most recent year. This steady, low-intensity usage typically implies short-distance urban driving rather than heavy long-distance commuting, which preserves the drivetrain and engine components. The lack of long gaps between tests suggests the vehicle remains in regular use, which helps prevent dry seals and fluid degradation. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear from high mileage. A buyer should examine rubber components, such as suspension bushes and split boots, which can crack and perish over time regardless of low mileage. Checking the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting is advisable as low-mileage cars often suffer from brake rust if not used frequently. The clean record suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a functional standard without neglecting safety-critical faults.
