2016 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FH16 AYK

The 2016 Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 37,830 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence that began with the 5 May 2023 pass at 22,036 miles. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded test cycle. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 22,036 miles in May 2023, rising to 26,153 miles by May 2024, then 30,424 miles in March 2025 and 37,830 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles per year. The low accumulation suggests extended periods of standing or light local use rather than sustained motorway driving. One anomaly appears on 8 May 2024 where a failure was logged at 26,152 miles followed immediately by a pass at 26,153 miles with no defects cited, pointing to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone reveals no recurring problems or escalating risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection to confirm underbody condition and check for dormant corrosion around sills and subframes, as low-mileage cars left unused often develop hidden rust while test passes stay clean. Verify the 8 May 2024 failure reason with DVSA records despite the zero-defect notation, since a duplicate-day reversal warrants confirmation it was clerical. Otherwise, the documented history supports a low-use vehicle with consistent test compliance and no recorded mechanical neglect.
