Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
The primary focus for a buyer should be verifying the maintenance of the low-mileage components. Because this 999cc petrol engine has been driven so little, you should check that the service history reflects regular oil changes, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to sludge buildup.
When inspecting the vehicle, check the condition of the tyres and brakes. Although the 2022 MOT noted cracking tyres and thin brake pads, the subsequent passes suggest these may have been addressed, but physical inspection is vital to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life again. Additionally, confirm that the vehicle has been regularly driven to keep the battery and seals in good condition.
The 999cc engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it an economical choice for urban driving and short commutes.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though you should budget for standard consumable items like tyres and brakes. Given the low mileage, you are less likely to face major mechanical component failures, but the estimated annual running cost remains a factor to consider.
Pay close attention to the tyres. The 2022 MOT record specifically highlighted that all four tyres were cracking or perishing; even if they have been replaced, check the manufacture date on the sidewall to ensure they are not aged rubber.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The previous record noted thin front brake pads, so ensure there is sufficient material left and that there are no unusual noises when braking. Finally, because the car has been driven very low miles (averaging under 2,000 miles per year), check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension components that may have suffered from lack of movement.
This 2014 Citroen C3, finished in white, has covered just 23,589 miles in approximately twelve years, which is significantly lower than the UK average. The MOT history shows a clean record for the last four consecutive tests, with no defects recorded since September 2022. While there were advisory issues regarding tyres and brake pads in 2022, the most recent test in July 2026 passed without any defects.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen C3 model to provide a comparative benchmark.
