2006 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · CY06 FKN

The Citroen C3 presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 June 2023 at 97,629 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be firmly classified as stable, worsening, or improving due to the absence of any prior test entries in the supplied record. A single clean pass offers no longitudinal fault data, but it confirms the vehicle met statutory roadworthiness standards on that date. Recorded mileage stands at 97,629 against a June 2006 build, equating to roughly 4,881 miles per year. This is low for a 20-year-old vehicle and implies either light annual use or extended periods off the road. The MOT history shows no earlier tests, so we cannot chart accumulation rates or gaps; the lone 2023 entry simply anchors the odometer at that figure three years before today's date of 8 July 2026. A buyer should not assume ongoing compliance from a three-year-old pass. DVSA rules exempt vehicles over 40 years from testing, but this 2006 car still requires a valid MOT to be legally driven. Given the low mileage and single clean record, the owner likely stored the car or used it sparingly, which raises standing-vehicle risks: perished rubber suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and corroding brake discs from inactivity. In person, inspect subframe and sills for structural corrosion, check suspension arms for cracked bushes, and confirm brake discs are free of rust binding. Verify the actual odometer matches the 97,629 recorded and test all fluids for degradation. The clean 2023 sheet is a starting point, not a guarantee of present condition.
