2012 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · CP12 DVO

The Citroen C3 presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 6 August 2025 at 151,896 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three most recent annual cycles, with each pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The owner cleared the 2025 and 2024 failures on the same or next attendance with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults. Mileage progression sits at a typical 10,850 miles per year for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 141,282 miles at the August 2023 pass to 145,968 miles at the August 2024 fail, then 146,042 at the pass days later, and 151,896 at the August 2025 tests. Annual accumulation runs near 4,600 to 6,000 miles in the logged years, below the lifetime average and suggesting lighter recent use. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or recorded defects across any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and 151,896 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion, emissions failures or structural concerns, but the absence of advisories on a high-mileage 2012 hatchback often means the tester logged only mandatory failures. Check underneath for subframe rust and inspect the exhaust for rot. Verify the 2024 and 2025 fails with no defects were clerical, not obscured mechanical faults.
