2005 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · CK05 SOA

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 67,648 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes across 2023 to 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle shows a clean test history with no recurring wear items or structural concerns noted by examiners. At roughly 21 years old the car carries just 67,648 recorded miles, an average of about 3,221 miles per year. The records show gentle accumulation: 58,354 miles at the May 2023 test, 61,449 miles in May 2024, and 67,648 miles by May 2025. That is under 10,000 miles across two years. Low yearly use of this sort often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop even when test results stay clear. Two failed entries on 11 May 2024 and 20 May 2025 were logged at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same days, with no defects recorded against either failure. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The owner clearly kept the car to a passable standard each year. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and underbody structural integrity given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time raises the risk of seized calipers and hidden rust not visible in a clean MOT summary. Confirm the service history and check for tyre sidewall cracking before purchase.
