2016 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · FM16 NBE

The 2016 Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 50,378 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits well below typical norms for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 21,699 miles at the 1 July 2021 test, rising to 25,329 by 6 May 2022, 34,612 by 26 April 2023, 41,900 by 22 April 2024, and 50,378 by April 2025. That averages roughly 5,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes or dormant gaps exceeding twelve months. The low, steady use and clean sheets suggest a cautious owner who kept the car lightly run and properly presented for each test. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring fault patterns or worsening trends. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake caliper operation, as standing time from low mileage can mask perished rubber components or surface rust not yet severe enough to fail a test. Given the sparse but clean history, pre-purchase checks should focus on tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and confirmation that fluids and timing belt intervals match Citroen's low-mileage schedule. The record implies conscientious basic upkeep; no evidence exists of skipped consumables or deferred structural repair.
