2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FD60 AEG

The 2010 Citroen C3’s most recent MOT on 2024-11-27 at 183,309 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the same date shows a conflicting failure entry with no defects noted, which may reflect administrative errors or unrecorded technical issues. The prior 2023-11-17 test at 166,255 miles also passed without defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend in the last 18 months. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are explicitly documented in the record, though the absence of defects does not guarantee absence of underlying issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 183,309 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 11,457 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 10-day interval between the 2023-11-17 pass and 2023-11-01 fail, which may indicate rushed testing or unrecorded repairs. The 2022-10-25 pass at 146,678 miles suggests a 19,577-mile increase in 13 months, potentially reflecting heavier usage. While the data lacks detailed defect descriptions, the lack of recurring issues in the record implies consistent upkeep, though higher mileage increases risks to suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these components degrade with high mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in the MOT history is reassuring, but visual checks for rust on the chassis and underbody are advised. The rear brakes, which can suffer from binding in older models, warrant attention, as well as the exhaust system for leaks or damage. Given the lack of detailed defect reports, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
