2015 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · DK65 LDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care regarding consumables and hardware. The most recent test in June 2026 at 71,405 miles showed only a minor failure for an inoperative nearside rear registration lamp. This represents a significant improvement compared to the 2025 test, which flagged multiple worn tyres and a broken exhaust hanger, suggesting that the current owner is addressing pressing mechanical issues following failures. The mileage profile is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles annually. There is a notable gap of over 9,000 miles between June 2022 and June 2023, but the vehicle has maintained a steady usage rate of roughly 6,000 miles per year since. This relatively low annual mileage generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts degrading, as evidenced by the perishing tyres noted during the 2020 inspection. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly due to recurring faults. The record shows a persistent history of binding rear brakes in 2019, followed by significantly worn discs and pads in 2021. The exhaust system has shown multiple points of failure, including a leak at the flexi joint in 2022 and a broken mounting in 2025. You must verify that the exhaust is now securely mounted and that the rear discs are free from excessive corrosion or pitting. The offside front drive shaft CV boot failed in 2023, which should be checked for current grease leakage or tearing to ensure the repair was effective and prevented joint failure. Given the history of tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2019 and 2025, the current tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres require verification to ensure they are not nearing replacement again. Structural integrity remains uncompromised by the data, but the focus should remain on these mechanical wear items.
