2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · CV10 SFO

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 July 2025 at 113,467 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing its last three passed tests without advisories. The 2024 and 2023 records each show an initial failure on the same date as a subsequent pass at identical mileage, though the DVSA entries list no defects for those failures, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage averages around 7,092 miles against the car's 16-year life, which is typical for a 2010 supermini. The record shows 104,508 miles on 18 May 2023, rising to 110,159 by 13 June 2024 and 113,467 by 5 July 2025. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles in the first interval and 3,300 in the second, a mild slowdown in use rather than any rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The same-day fail and pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 suggest the vehicle may have been presented for test before minor preparation, so checking for corrosion on structural members and verifying exhaust emissions at cold start remains sensible. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the data, and the lack of advisories across four passed tests implies previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust that MOT testers may not have noted at the mileages recorded.
