2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · FG10 VGM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in October 2023 at 124,990 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the owner has successfully maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum safety and environmental requirements following a single failure in late 2020. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between the 119,131 miles in October 2021 and 124,990 miles in October 2023, the car covered 5,859 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern. The short interval between the October 2020 failure and the subsequent pass just nine days later suggests the owner was proactive in addressing immediate mechanical issues rather than allowing minor faults to persist. While the lack of recorded advisories is a positive sign, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation despite mileage. At 125,000 miles, rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and CV boots are likely nearing the end of their service life. Check the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for excessive pitting or caliper binding, as the MOT does not capture the functional state of these components unless they reach a specific failure threshold.
