2015 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · HT15 OZR

This Citroën C3 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across the last five tests, most recently passing on 12 August 2025 at 54,356 miles. The absence of any failures or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been consistently roadworthy, though the most recent test occurred just over a year ago—nearing the 12-month MOT cycle threshold. While this indicates no immediate mechanical failures, the gap between the August 2025 test and today (26 July 2026) means the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection for over a year. Buyers should verify whether the current owner has maintained regular servicing outside MOT requirements, particularly for fluid changes, suspension components, and brake wear. The mileage pattern of approximately 4,941 miles per year is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, with no significant jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests. The most notable anomaly is the duplicate entry for 15 June 2022, where the vehicle appears to have passed and failed on the same date at 41,039 miles—this likely reflects an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. The steady accumulation of mileage without abrupt spikes suggests the car has been used consistently, though the low annual mileage implies lighter usage than average, which may mitigate some wear-and-tear concerns. Still, the lack of service intervals beyond MOT testing raises questions about the maintenance discipline applied to less critical components. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity and brake condition. While no advisories were recorded, the age of the vehicle (11 years) and mileage warrant close examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for excessive wear or corrosion. The rear brakes, in particular, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as past tests did not reveal any faults but age-related deterioration is common. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be scrutinised, as the absence of MOT failures in this area could indicate either diligent maintenance or deferred replacement. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be inspected, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s load-bearing capacity over time.
