2015 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · GC15 ABK

The October 2025 pass confirms the vehicle meets current roadworthiness criteria, while the September 2025 failure recorded multiple issues that were subsequently corrected, indicating an improving maintenance trend. The odometer has climbed from 33,092 miles in July 2018 to 98,898 miles in October 2025, a rise of 65,806 miles over 11 years, or roughly 8,991 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The incremental mileage between successive tests – for example, an increase of 8,449 miles between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests, and a further 8,393 miles between October 2024 and September 2025 – demonstrates steady accumulation without anomalous jumps, and the record remains relatively clean aside from the isolated September 2025 failure. A buyer should prioritize inspection of the front brake system, as wear on the discs (1.1.14 (a) (i) or (ii)) and thin pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) have recurred since 2020, suggesting the need to verify pad thickness, disc condition and caliper binding. Repeated offside front position lamp and registration plate lamp failures point to wiring or bulb integrity that must be checked, while the 2025 failure’s insecure front exhaust and inoperative engine MIL indicate potential structural rust and engine management issues that require a physical examination. Tyre wear records from 2020 and 2023, including tread depth below 1.6 mm in 2018, confirm that tyre condition and suspension bushes should be assessed for perishing rubber and uneven wear. Overall, the vehicle appears maintainable, but the buyer must conduct a thorough on‑site inspection of brake components, suspension geometry, tyre tread and sidewalls, exhaust security, and all lighting and engine warning systems before finalising purchase, as these areas have shown recurring deficiencies despite the recent pass.
