2007 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · FV56 OBN

The 2025‑10‑01 MOT at 93,348 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Citroën C3 is presently roadworthy. Since the 2014 failure, which addressed excessive ball‑joint play and dust‑cover deterioration, every subsequent test has shown no faults, indicating a stable maintenance record. The vehicle’s 19‑year lifespan and 93,348 miles equate to an average annual mileage of roughly 4,900 miles, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments are consistent, rising by about 1,000–1,700 miles per year between tests, with no evidence of rapid accumulation or long idle periods that would cause premature component fatigue. Recurring notes of deteriorated anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust covers from 2013 through 2020 point to potential suspension wear that should be examined for play in the ball joints, condition of suspension bushes, and integrity of coil springs. The early 2014 tyre wear and nail puncture, together with the 2012 thin front brake pads, indicate that tyre condition and brake health merit close inspection, while the absence of rust or structural advisories in recent tests suggests the chassis remains sound. A buyer should therefore verify current tyre tread depth, inspect front and rear brake pad thickness, check for any looseness in suspension components such as ball joints and bushes, and look for signs of corrosion around mounting points; the lack of recent defects means the car should be in good overall condition if these items are found to be satisfactory.
