2016 Citroen C3 1.0L Petrol · DP16 CVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative mechanical care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 59,274 miles passed despite a defective front exhaust mounting. This follows a failure in February 2024 at 46,371 miles for the same insecure exhaust mount. While the car has consistently passed its tests, the recurring nature of the exhaust defect suggests the owner only addresses components once they trigger an MOT failure. At 59,274 miles, this ten-year-old Citro reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading. The data shows consistent mileage progression of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles between annual tests from 2023 to 2026. The low mileage suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which correlates with the physical aging of materials seen in the records. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the record notes multiple instances of cracking and perishing in 2023 and 2025. These are typical of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber out out rather than wears down from friction. The offside front brake pads and pitted discs noted in 2023 require a physical check to ensure the braking system has been properly serviced and that corrosion hasn't started to return. Given the repeated exhaust mounting failures, a thorough inspection of the exhaust hangers and brackets is necessary to ensure no further structural fatigue is present on the system itself.
