2009 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · EX09 AEP

The 2009 Citroen C3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 2025-09-18 at 69,115 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2024-07-23 (68,302 miles) and 2023-08-02 (66,836 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2023-08-02 at 66,835 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting either a data anomaly or a non-critical failure. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of worsening mechanical or structural issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 69,115 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 4,066 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation not captured in MOT tests. The MOT records show a consistent interval of roughly 12 months between tests, with the most recent inspection over 10 months ago (as of 2026-07-19). This gap means the vehicle has not been assessed for over a year, raising potential concerns about unmonitored wear or corrosion. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as low mileage can mask wear from static storage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these are common issues in underused vehicles. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, warrants scrutiny to identify hidden rust or fatigue. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of recent testing and low mileage suggest proactive checks are essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
