AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2012 Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 April 2025 at 87,255 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations since early 2022. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,232 miles, typical for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 79,036 miles on 21 February 2022, rising to 79,652 by 3 April 2023, then 82,750 on 1 April 2024 and 87,255 by April 2025. A minor anomaly appears in February 2022 when the car failed on 12 February at 79,036 miles yet passed nine days later at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair gap. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of deferred consumable upkeep. No advisories or defects appear across the supplied tests, so the MOT file alone reveals no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers given the vehicle's age. The absence of flagged wear means previous owners likely kept basic maintenance current, but fourteen years invites tired rubber components unseen by the tester.
