2013 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FM62 CFV

The current roadworthiness status of this 2013 Citroen C3 is highly favourable, demonstrating a stable and well-maintained trend. The most recent MOT test on 2 April 2026 at 111,259 miles passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests, suggesting the previous owner addressed any immediate concerns promptly and maintained the car to a reliable standard. The vehicle's mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 8,558 miles annually. Between the tests on 7 April 2023 at 89,311 miles and 8 April 2024 at 95,735 miles, the car covered 6,424 miles. This increased slightly to 8,952 miles over the following twelve months, culminating in the 2025 test at 102,307 miles, before rising again to 111,259 miles by April 2026. There are no alarming gaps in the testing schedule or sudden spikes in mileage accumulation, pointing to regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or excessive long-distance touring. Despite the overwhelmingly clean record, an anomaly appears in the April 2024 entry where the vehicle failed at 95,735 miles, yet the supplied data lists no specific defects. It passed a retest on the same day, also without recorded defects, which suggests a minor, swiftly rectified issue or a data recording quirk at the testing station. Given the absence of recurring mechanical or structural advisories, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on typical age-related wear rather than chronic faults. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion. Verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for rust remains prudent, as the paper trail offers no insight into the physical condition of these components.
