2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · GU60 NPJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 07 July 2025 at 106,530 miles. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend, as the car has consistently passed its inspections despite initial test failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that issues were rectified immediately prior to retesting rather than representing progressive mechanical degradation. At 106,530 miles over 16 years, the car averages approximately 6,658 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns. The data shows consistent operation with roughly 7,600 miles driven between the 2023 test (90,846 miles) and the 2024 test (98,435 miles), followed by approximately 8,100 miles in the final year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brakes in older French models. Despite the clean advisory sheets on the passing tests, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and underbody structure. Given the age of the Citroen C3, check for worn wish arm bushes and surface corrosion on the rear subframe, which the MOT does not always flag until they become critical. The recurring failures without recorded defects are unusual and may stem from minor items like light bulbs or momentary emission fluctuations that were easily replaced, but a thorough check of fluid leaks and brake pipe condition remains necessary to ensure the low-mileage profile has not masked mechanical neglect.
