2008 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · FL08 VKS

The Citroen C3 passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2025 at 152,338 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable with no advisories or faults carried forward across the available history. The vehicle is currently roadworthy per the last test, though the record shows two prior failed tests that were cleared within days with no defects logged. The recorded mileage of 152,338 over roughly 18 years equates to about 8,463 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. The history shows 14,075 miles added between the February 2023 test at 135,052 miles and the March 2024 test at 149,122 miles, then only 3,216 miles in the following year to March 2025. Two failed tests on 18 March 2024 and 17 March 2025, both at near-identical mileage to the subsequent passes four days later, suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical defects, as no faults were recorded on either failure. The absence of any advisories across all five tests means the official record gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the subframe, suspension arms, and brake calipers given the car's age and 152k mileage, as MOT pass with no defects does not confirm component life remaining. Previous owners appear to have kept the car to a standard that cleared MOT without recorded faults, but the repeated fail-then-pass pattern within days implies the car may have been presented without correct documentation or minor prep. Given the clean but sparse record, verify service history and check for undocumented corrosion or consumable wear not captured by DVSA tests.
