2020 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · LB70 OKZ

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 43,561 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across three annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows light use for a six-year-old vehicle. The February 2024 test logged 19,429 miles, rising to 23,612 by February 2025 and 43,561 by February 2026. This equates to roughly 4,200 miles in the first measured year and nearly 20,000 in the final twelve months, a sharp late acceleration after two years of low accumulation. The DVSA record itself is sparse, with three passes and zero advisories, so no wear items or mechanical faults were formally flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation such as perished suspension bushes, corroding brake discs, or fatigued coil springs that a tester may judge within limits on the day. The jump in annual mileage means the final year alone accounted for over half the car's life total, so drivetrain and clutch wear from that period warrants scrutiny. Given the clean history, structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no recorded concern. Verify the sudden 2025 to 2026 mileage increase against service invoices, as the previous owner's lighter early use followed by heavy late running suggests irregular servicing discipline rather than consistent care.
