2016 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · CP66 ABO

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 30 October 2023 at 39,197 miles passed without defects, indicating the car was roadworthy at that time. However, the MOT history shows a pattern of alternating passes and fails over the past three years, suggesting inconsistent maintenance or testing conditions. The lack of advisories or defects in any test suggests no critical mechanical issues were detected, but the erratic pattern implies potential neglect or irregular servicing. The absence of advisories on brakes, suspension, or emissions in the most recent test suggests these systems were functioning adequately at that time. The mileage pattern reveals a low annual average of around 5,021 miles, which is unusually low for a vehicle this age. The most recent test at 39,197 miles was conducted just 4,717 miles later than the previous test in October 2023, indicating minimal use or long periods of inactivity. This low mileage could reflect lighter use or extended periods standing, which may have contributed to the inconsistent MOT results. The sparse testing history with only three passes and three fails over three years suggests the vehicle was not regularly maintained or tested. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, including bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as the vehicle's low mileage may indicate these parts have not been subjected to normal wear. The brakes should be checked for excessive wear or binding, as the vehicle's age and low mileage could have led to less frequent brake inspections. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive wear, as the vehicle's age and low mileage may have affected its emissions performance. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches, given the vehicle's age and potential for standing periods.
