2006 Citroen C3 1.1L Petrol · EY06 LFZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in April 2025 at 95,683 miles passed, yet it introduced new defects that were not present in the previous year. While the car has passed its consecutive tests, the appearance of an oil leak and a defective exhaust mounting suggests that the owner is now addressing only the minimum requirements to pass the MOT test standard rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 95,683 miles, this 20-year-old vehicle has averaged approximately 4,784 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent low-use patterns, with only 715 miles recorded between May 2024 and April 2025, and 1,928 miles between May 2023 and May 2024. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to lack of use, which aligns with the recurring oil-related issues noted in the record. A buyer must inspect the engine bay for the source of the oil leak flagged in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, as this could range from a simple gasket to a more significant failure. The recurring advisory for the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge across two consecutive years indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate professional diagnosis. Furthermore, the defective exhaust mounting noted in 2025 should be checked to ensure the exhaust system is not vibrating or causing damage to the underbody over time.
