2012 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · CE62 VHU

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 September 2025 at 97,499 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes once minor re-test issues were resolved. No advisories or worn consumables appear in any entry, which suggests the vehicle has not accumulated outstanding mechanical faults in the tested period. Recorded mileage sits at 97,499 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,964 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of supermini. The gap between the November 2023 pass at 92,471 miles and the November 2024 pass at 97,452 miles shows about 4,981 miles covered in twelve months, then only 47 miles by September 2025. Such a sharp drop implies the car stood largely idle in its final months under the previous keeper. The September 2025 fail at 97,498 miles and the November 2023 fail at 92,465 miles both list no defects, meaning the tester issued the rejection on administrative grounds rather than mechanical condition. This pattern points to documentation or lighting faults, not suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still confirm the V5C, recall status, and that no hidden advisories were omitted from the supplied extract. Given the clean sheets and low recent use, structural integrity and underbody corrosion remain the key items to verify in person. Inspect coil springs, subframe mounts, and exhaust emissions hardware for age-related fatigue not captured by a pass with no defects.
