2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · JR60 JAB

The 2017 Citroen C3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT records, with no defects reported in the 2025-08-29 test at 65,583 miles. However, the vehicle failed an MOT on 2025-08-27—just two days prior—at the same mileage, though no defects were recorded. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a minor technicality, but no structural or mechanical issues were flagged in the broader history. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 showed passing results with no defects, indicating consistent maintenance practices over the past four years. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,583 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,287 miles, typical for its nine-year age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2024-08-23 test at 54,039 miles and the 2023-08-01 test at 44,660 miles reveal a steady progression, though the abrupt jump from 32,464 miles in 2022 to 44,660 miles in 2023 suggests a possible period of accelerated use. No evidence of excessive wear on consumables or major components is present in the records, though the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits deeper analysis. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in the MOTs does not preclude a need to check for uneven disc wear or caliper binding, which may not trigger immediate failures. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody components should also be scrutinized, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the recent failed test without recorded defects warrants further investigation to confirm compliance with safety standards.
