2011 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · DA11 KTO

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 13 May 2025 at 77,537 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The May 2025 test passed with no defects logged, though it followed a failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated in May 2024 when a fail on 14 May at 70,290 miles preceded a pass two days later at 70,294 miles. Such same-day or near-day fail-pass cycles with no faults listed suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects. The odometer shows 77,537 miles against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 5,169 miles per year. The car covered 6,605 miles between the May 2023 test at 63,685 miles and May 2024 at 70,290 miles, then 7,243 miles to May 2025. This is consistently low annual use for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. Low mileage of this order can indicate extended standing periods, which often accelerate perishing of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion where moisture gathers. No advisories or defects appear across any test in the supplied record, so the DVSA data alone shows no recurring suspension, braking, or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. Standing time raises the risk of flat-spotted tyres and binding calipers not captured in a clean MOT pass. The duplicated fail-pass entries at 14 and 16 May 2024 and 13 May 2025 warrant a check of the full DVSA certificate detail to confirm no omitted minor defect. Otherwise the history implies a lightly used car with basic upkeep maintained, though fifteen years will test seals, hoses, and exhaust emissions hardware on sight.
