2011 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · CV61 JVR

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 60,824 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits low for a 15-year-old car. The record shows 36,836 miles at the April 2022 test, rising to 44,718 by April 2023, 50,910 by April 2024, and 60,824 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, confirming light use. A single failure on 25 April 2022 at 36,835 miles was followed by a pass the next day at 36,836 miles with no defects listed, suggesting a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. The absence of flagged items means no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns are evident in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as MOT passes at low mileage do not rule out latent rust where the car has stood for periods. Verify the April 2022 anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Given the clean test lineage and low annual use, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The lack of advisories implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed before each test. Prospective owners should nonetheless assess real-world wear on coil springs and binding calipers during a pre-purchase examination.
