2018 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · KY18 AXK

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until March 2027, following a pass on 5 March 2026. The recent history shows a stable trend regarding mechanical compliance, as the most recent test resulted in no recorded defects. While the vehicle failed its initial test on 4 March 2026, the subsequent pass the following day indicates that any issues identified were rectified immediately. This pattern of a failed test followed by an immediate pass also occurred in March 2024, suggesting that the vehicle often requires minor preparation or adjustment to meet roadworthiness standards at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 86,490 miles over eight years averages approximately 10,811 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The consistent annual testing schedule indicates the car has remained in regular operation without significant gaps in its history. Because the MOT records show no specific advisories for components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the data provides no evidence of long-term neglect or chronic component failure. Prospective buyers should note that the absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee the condition of consumable items like tyres, brake pads, or wiper blades, as these are frequently replaced between inspections. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection must focus on the condition of the suspension components and the effectiveness of the braking system, as these parts endure the most wear under this level of usage. Verify the state of the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which can indicate alignment issues not always captured during a standard MOT test. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
