2011 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · CY61 BKA

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 October 2025 at 104,977 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clean bill of health at the latest test. However, the record reveals two earlier failures on 14 October 2025 at 104,938 miles and 10 October 2023 at 91,343 miles, both logged with no defects stated by the tester. Such pass-fail-pass sequences within days suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, though the absence of recorded defects on failure leaves the exact cause unverified. The odometer sat at 91,525 miles for the October 2023 pass, rose to 99,823 miles by October 2024, and reached 104,977 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 8,300 miles per year across the recorded period, marginally above the 6,998 miles per year average for a 15-year-old vehicle. The data shows no large gaps or sudden accumulation spikes; mileage progression is steady and consistent with typical private use. The sparse history, with only five entries and no advisories across any test, gives little insight into worn consumables or underlying wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 104,977 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet 2011 Citroen bodies are prone to subframe rust that testers may miss until advanced. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures, as the DVSA log offers no technical explanation. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase. The clean advisory history implies previous owners addressed issues pre-test or the car saw light mechanical strain, but absence of records is not proof of care.
