2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · DN14 ADZ

The 2014 Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 63,451 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 3 March 2023 at 52,880 miles, where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing four days later at 52,966 miles. Mileage sits low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 52,880 miles in March 2023, rising to 58,787 by March 2024, 60,438 by March 2025, and 63,451 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 5,600 miles per year, well below typical use. The clean pass history across four consecutive years implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though the low annual distance means the car likely spent periods stationary, a pattern that can hide perished rubber components and seized mechanisms not caught in a static test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as standing time accelerates rubber degradation and surface rust on structural members. The exhaust and emissions system passed without advisory across all tests, but twelve years of age warrants a visual check of the subframe and sills for structural integrity. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, wipers, or discs, consumable wear appears managed. The sparse, clean record offers reasonable assurance, yet low-mileage Citroens of this era often conceal intermittent electrical faults and steering column wear not visible in MOT data.
