2011 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · FN61 YSM

The overall roadworthiness is classified as non-roadworthy for the vehicle, with a clear deterioration trend evident in the MOT record. The most recent test on 2025-11-21 at 54,707 miles was a pass, but this was immediately followed by a failure on 2024-11-27 at 52,517 miles, indicating a significant drop in overall mechanical health. This sequence demonstrates that the vehicle's condition has worsened over the past two years, confirming a worsening trend rather than a stable or improving one. The mileage pattern reveals a critical gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded usage. The car is approximately 15 years old with only 54,707 miles, which is roughly 3,647 miles per year. While this low mileage is often associated with lighter use or standing periods, the data suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained at this frequency. The rapid accumulation of miles since the 2024-12-03 pass (52,519 miles) and the subsequent failure on 2024-11-27 (52,517 miles) indicates that the vehicle has likely been driven for a long time without the necessary periodic servicing. This lack of maintenance has exposed the vehicle to increased wear on critical components, particularly in the drivetrain and suspension, which are the most common causes of failure in older models. Given the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, as well as the state of brake discs and corrosion. The lack of a MOT record in 2024 suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over a year without a valid MOT, which is a major red flag for structural integrity. Any inspection must focus on verifying that the suspension and braking systems are in good condition and that the vehicle has not suffered from structural issues such as rust or corrosion, as these are the primary causes of failure in older vehicles.
