2015 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · DC15 WSW

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 July 2025 at 44,172 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failure entry carrying no listed defects, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three years the car passed cleanly, with no advisories or recorded wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. Mileage sits low for an eleven year old vehicle. The record shows 32,947 miles in July 2022, rising to 37,073 in July 2023, 40,558 in July 2024, and 44,172 in July 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 to 4,100 miles added each year, a gentle accumulation suggesting light use or extended standing periods. No gaps exist between annual tests and the DVSA data is sparse, listing no consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframes given the low mileage and likely static storage, as moisture trapped during long idle spells accelerates hidden rust on structural members. The clean MOT trail offers no flagged binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults to chase, but the duplicated 28 July 2025 pass and failure warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the anomaly was clerical. Given the absent advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without deferred consumables. The low annual distance implies drivetrain and cabin components saw little stress, though aged rubber mounts and perished hoses remain invisible to MOT testers and deserve a hands-on check before purchase.
