2015 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · FL65 VGC

The Citroen C3 presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 17 December 2025 at 41,732 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the record shows two paired fail-pass cycles on the same dates in January 2025 and December 2025 where the tester logged no defects. That pattern points to administrative or presentation failures at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, with the vehicle clearing on the same-day retest both times. Mileage behaviour is irregular for an eleven-year-old car. The 2024 test on 12 January showed 54,849 miles, yet by 11 January 2025 the reading had dropped to 38,122 miles, a 16,727-mile reversal that indicates a replacement cluster or a data error rather than genuine use. From that 2025 figure the car covered only 3,610 miles to the December 2025 pass at 41,732 miles, giving a long-term average near 3,800 miles per year. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerate rubber perishing and brake corrosion even when test results stay clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely static storage. The MOT history flags no advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions, so structural integrity appears sound per DVLA data. Verify the mileage discrepancy with the seller's service records before purchase, as the 2024 to 2025 drop undermines confidence in the odometer's accuracy.
