2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FP60 PLF

The 2010 Citroën C3 remains roadworthy. Its most recent MOT on 31 August 2023, at 78 819 miles, passed with no defects recorded. The record shows a pattern of repeated failed tests just before each successful one, but each failure also reported no faults. This indicates a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. The vehicle has not exhibited any recurring mechanical or structural issues in the official tests. Mileage growth has been modest. From 69 076 miles in August 2022 to 78 819 miles in August 2023, the car logged 9 743 miles over 12 months, roughly 811 miles per month. Earlier, the jump from 68 127 miles in February 2022 to 69 076 miles in August 2022 was only 1 049 miles in six months. The low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen limited use, which aligns with its age and the overall low wear profile. When inspecting in person, focus on consumables that naturally degrade over time. Check tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity and pressure; inspect wiper blades for cracking or loss of rubber. Verify brake performance by testing the pedal feel, listening for squeal, and inspecting brake discs and pads for uneven wear. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or softening, and look for any binding in the steering or differential. A visual scan of the body and undercarriage should reveal any corrosion or rust patches that could compromise structural integrity. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle likely remains in good condition, but a thorough visual and functional check of the items above will confirm that the maintenance history reflects genuine care rather than merely passing administrative tests.
