2014 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · DA64 EKJ

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 3 February 2026 at 34,459 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 test came one day after a failure on 2 February 2026 at the same mileage, yet no defects were listed on either entry. This pattern repeats the prior year: a failure on 3 February 2025 at 31,217 miles with no defects recorded was followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. The vehicle cleared the 1 February 2024 test at 28,334 miles without advisories. The odometer shows 34,459 miles against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 2,872 miles per year. Mileage crept from 28,334 in February 2024 to 31,217 in February 2025, then to 34,459 by February 2026, a steady low-use accumulation of about 3,100 miles annually. No rapid jumps or dormant gaps appear in the supplied record. The clean advisory history across all three years suggests either light urban use or disciplined pre-test preparation, though the back-to-back fail-pass pairs on identical dates and mileages imply administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and the possibility of corrosion or perished rubbers from prolonged standing. The MOT data flags no structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions faults, or recurring consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades. The repeated no-defect failures without listed reasons warrant a check of the DVSA failure category codes, as the entries alone do not disclose whether the car was presented late or withdrawn.
