2015 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · GV65 DZZ

The 2015 Citroen C3 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 3 February 2026 at 81,589 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry available, sitting just over four months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness certification is current and fresh. The broader pattern across the record is one of consistent upkeep rather than neglect. Both the 2025 and 2024 test cycles show a fail followed rapidly by a pass on the same mileage, which typically indicates a rectification visit rather than a prolonged fault. In each case the failure entries carry no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or minor technical issues were resolved before the retest. No recurring mechanical or structural advisories appear anywhere in the history. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,417 miles per year sits squarely within typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The intervals between tests show steady, predictable progression: 66,304 miles in January 2024, 74,240 miles in January 2025, and 81,589 miles in February 2026. That equates to approximately 7,936 miles over the first twelve-month span and 7,349 miles over the second, indicating the owner maintained a consistent driving pattern without dramatic spikes or suspicious gaps. There is no evidence of long periods standing idle or sudden high-mileage runs that would raise concerns about neglected servicing or accelerated wear. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Citroen C3 of this generation is known for premature wear on front suspension bushes and drop links, so check for clunking over uneven surfaces and uneven tyre wear. Inspect the rear beam axle mounting points for corrosion, a common weakness on PSA-platform superminis that MOT testers may not always flag until advanced. Examine the exhaust system for heat-shield security and signs of blowing joints, particularly around the flexi-section. Brake condition should be verified visually even though no defects were recorded, as the relatively modest annual mileage can lead to surface corrosion on discs and drums during short-trip use. Finally, confirm that the spare tyre or inflation kit is present and serviceable, and that all dashboard warning lamps extinguish correctly after ignition, as intermittent electrical faults on these models can evade a standard MOT.
