2015 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · FX15 MXR

The 2026‑02‑26 MOT at 30,562 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with a pass and only minor tyre perishing noted; the maintenance record shows a stable trend, as each subsequent test since 2018 has resulted in a pass without serious defects. The mileage progression from 10,292 miles in February 2018 to 30,562 miles in February 2026 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 1,500 miles, well below the typical 12,000‑mile annual average for a vehicle of this age, indicating relatively light usage or extended periods of inactivity; the interval between the 2019 failure and the 2019 pass is minimal, and no extended gaps are evident in the DVSA log. Recurring 5.2.3 (d) (ii) tyre perishing at 17,325, 15,431, and 30,562 miles points to persistent alignment or suspension issues that should be examined for worn bushes, mis‑aligned suspension geometry, or binding rear brakes; the earlier 2019 headlamp aim defect suggests the front lighting system may require adjustment, while the absence of corrosion or structural advisories in recent tests implies the chassis and exhaust remain sound. A buyer should therefore inspect tyre tread depth and side‑wall condition, verify suspension bush integrity and coil spring condition, test brake caliper movement and disc wear, check for any rust on structural members, confirm correct headlamp aim, and assess overall exhaust emissions, as these components have been the only recurring concerns in the vehicle’s history.
