2018 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FN18 EHM

The 2018 Citroen C3 demonstrates a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 6 March 2024 at 14,233 miles with zero defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests suggests diligent upkeep and a lack of ongoing mechanical deterioration. A buyer can approach this vehicle with confidence regarding its documented roadworthiness status. The recorded mileage sits remarkably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging just 1,779 miles annually. Between the April 2022 test at 10,785 miles and the March 2023 test at 11,382 miles, the car covered a mere 597 miles, indicating a period of very light use or potential standing. Usage increased notably in the following twelve months, accumulating 2,851 miles by the March 2024 test at 14,233 miles. This sporadic accumulation pattern requires consideration regarding the condition of perishable components. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to age rather than wear. Extended periods of sitting often lead to brake disc corrosion and binding calipers, which may not manifest as a failure until the vehicle is driven regularly. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber hardens over time regardless of tread depth. Examine the suspension bushes and exhaust system for perishing or superficial rust that can develop when a car sits dormant for long intervals.
