2013 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · FW13 MVE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 3 June 2025 at 120,056 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the minimum standard after addressing previous failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately rather than allowing them to persist. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 120,056 represents an annual average of approximately 9,235 miles, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 6,200 miles covered between April 2023 and May 2024, and another 794 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of seals and corrosion of braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the digital record does not specify the exact defects. Given the age, these failures likely involved wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components. It is also necessary to inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches which are common on Citroen models of this era. Checking for any fluid leaks or excessive drivetrain play will ensure that the recent MOT passes reflect a well-maintained mechanical state.
