2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FM14 PFA

The Citroen C3 presents an entirely stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a flawless MOT record spanning four consecutive years. The most recent examination on 19 February 2026 at 75,278 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, mirroring the clean bills of health recorded in July 2025, July 2024, and July 2023. This unbroken sequence of zero-fault passes indicates a vehicle that has required no remedial mechanical or structural work to meet minimum roadworthiness standards, suggesting diligent upkeep by the previous keeper. The recorded mileage aligns precisely with the vehicle's age, accumulating roughly 6,273 miles annually over its twelve-year lifespan. Examining the intervals reveals a remarkably consistent usage pattern. Between the July 2024 test at 68,170 miles and the July 2025 test at 73,445 miles, the car covered 5,275 miles over twelve months. The subsequent period from July 2025 to the February 2026 test saw a more modest accumulation of 1,833 miles over seven months, reflecting a slight reduction in recent usage but no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer that might indicate tampering or prolonged standing. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of age-related consumables and structural components that do not always trigger immediate MOT advisories. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of a twelve-year-old vehicle, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or lipping that might not yet constitute a testable defect. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and examine the vehicle's underbody and sills for structural rust, as the MOT only assesses corrosion within prescribed areas and mounting points. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as cracking from ageing can occur before tread depth becomes an issue.
