2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · CY60 FHW

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 130,350 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 18 September 2024 at 122,599 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical concerns across the five-year record, indicating consistent statutory compliance. Annual mileage averages close to 8,150 miles, typical for a 2010 hatchback. The record shows 115,717 miles at the 20 October 2023 test, rising to 122,594 miles by 17 September 2024 and 130,350 by September 2025. The only anomaly is the 24-hour gap between the 17 September 2024 failure at 122,594 miles and the 18 September pass at 122,599 miles; the failure carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The data is otherwise sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, or brake entries flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's sixteen-year age and 130,000-mile use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear are consumable items the MOT may not have captured between tests. The absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed issues pre-test, but standing moisture exposure on a Citroen of this era commonly attacks sills and subframes. Verify service history independently and confirm the 2024 failure cause with the testing station. The clean record supports a sound purchase, yet age-related fatigue in steering joints and exhaust emissions components warrants a workshop ramp check before funds transfer.
