2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · KV64 EPA

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred attention regarding consumable wear items. The most recent test in February 2026 at 109,575 miles flagged perishing on both rear tyres and surface corrosion on the rear brake discs. While the car passed, the recurrence of these issues across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed components when they approached the point of inspection failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 109,575 miles over 12 years, the C3 averages approximately 9,130 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a small hatchback. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2022 and January 2024, during which the vehicle covered roughly 6,000 miles. Since that period, the mileage has increased steadily, with over 22,000 miles recorded in the last two years. This recent rate indicates regular use, which explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and rubber in recent tests. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows a history of pitted and scored discs on both the front and rear axles dating back to 2024, suggesting the vehicle sits for long periods or operates in environments prone to corrosion. The perishing of the tyres noted in 2026 indicates the rubber is hardening due to age, which poses a risk to grip regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verify the windscreen for the previously noted damage and ensure the rear registration plate assembly and all wiper blades function effectively following the previous failures in 2022.
