2017 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · CF17 VSP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record in its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted on 16 May 2025 at 85,282 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to secure the test certificate. Since that pass, the vehicle has operated for one year without further recorded failures, indicating a consistent level of mechanical reliability and upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,476 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 69,396 miles and May 2024 at 74,902 miles, the car covered 5,506 miles, showing a slight dip in usage. The subsequent interval of 10,380 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests represents a return to normal annual mileage without suggesting accelerated wear patterns associated with high-frequency use of drivetrain components. While the current record is clean, the failures in May 2023 and May 2025 warrant a close physical inspection of common wear points. Because the record does not detail the specific reasons for these failures, a buyer should manually check for typical Citroen C3 issues such as wear on suspension arm bushes, perished rubber mounts, or minor corrosion on the brake lines. Checking the brake pads and the integrity of the exhaust system will also ensure that the previous failures were isolated incidents rather than symptomatic of structural degradation.
