Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The MOT record for this 2016 Citroen C3 presents a remarkably clean roadworthiness profile. Every test, including the most recent pass on 10 October 2025 at 81,116 miles, recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable and well-maintained trend with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged over the past three years. The mileage pattern is generally typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,112 miles per year. However, the gap between the June 2025 test at 81,014 miles and the October 2025 test at 81,116 miles covers only 102 miles over four months, suggesting very light use or short journeys during that period. The annual mileage between June 2023 and June 2024 was 7,633 miles, and between June 2024 and June 2025 it was 7,115 miles, which is consistent and moderate. With no recorded faults, the history implies diligent basic upkeep, but a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Pay close attention to suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or corrosion, as these are common on models of this age. Brake discs and pads should be checked for condition, and the exhaust system inspected for any developing corrosion. A full service history check is advisable to confirm that routine maintenance like oil changes and coolant flushes were performed on schedule.
