Our Verdict
Approach this 2015 Citroen C3 with caution and budget for immediate minor repairs. The MOT history shows repeated advisories and two failed tests in the last two years, though all issues were addressed and it currently holds a pass.
Before buying, confirm the service history is complete for this 1.2-litre petrol C3, as low mileage can mask neglected intervals such as cambelt or fluid changes. Use the recorded MOT failures to negotiate: the 2025 failure for a non-clearing nearside wiper and inoperative plate lamp suggests the car was presented without basic checks, so ask for evidence these and the prior headlamp fault were properly fixed.
The 1200cc petrol engine in this C3 is among the smaller capacities on UK roads, so fuel costs should be modest; however exact economy figures are not in the provided data. Insurance and tax for an 11-year-old small hatchback are typically low, though specific group and VED band are not stated here.
Inspect the front wishbone arms closely — the MOT advisories from 2023 (19,654 miles), 2024 (21,120 miles) and 2025 (23,026 miles) all note worn inner front and rear bushes, so verify they are not now excessive. Check the nearside windscreen wiper and both registration plate lamps function, as these caused the 2025 failure alongside the same-day pass items.
This white 2015 Citroen C3 (FV15AFF) has covered just 23,026 miles as of its July 2025 MOT, which is low for an 11-year-old car. The MOT record shows a persistent front wishbone bush wear advisory from 2023 through 2025, plus failed tests in 2024 (headlamp) and 2025 (wiper, plate lamp) that were quickly retested and passed. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment rests solely on this vehicle's history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Citroen C3, so this assessment relies entirely on the individual history of FV15AFF.
