2016 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FN16 HHZ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Although the most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 127,294 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate pass on the same day with no recorded defects suggests a minor administrative error or a rectified non-related item. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed its inspections without any flagged mechanical defects or structural advisories. The mileage reflects high usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,700 miles annually. The data shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the November 2024 test (120,778 miles) and the November 2025 test (127,294 miles). This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used consistently for motorway commuting, which often prevents the degradation of rubber components seen in cars that sit stationary for long periods. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of components prone to high-frequency wear. Focus on the suspension assembly, specifically checking for perished bushes and worn coil springs which often fatigue after exceeding 100,000 miles. The braking system requires a close look for thin discs or seized calipers, as the MOT record does not capture minor binding issues or uneven wear. Additionally, inspect the chassis for corrosion to ensure the high-mileage use has not exposed the vehicle to harsh environmental conditions without adequate protection.
