2020 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · LE69 DVH

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest MOT on 27 August 2025, when it passed with no defects recorded. The record also shows a failed test on the same date, but the failure list was empty, suggesting an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. With no recurring faults in the four recorded tests, the maintenance trend appears stable. Mileage growth is steady. From 18,277 miles on 3 February 2023 to 20,332 miles on 3 August 2023, the car accumulated 2,055 miles in six months. The next test at 25,809 miles on 24 July 2024 shows an increase of 5,477 miles over 11 months, and the final test at 32,293 miles on 27 August 2025 records 6,484 miles in 13 months. These figures average about 5,400 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a six‑year‑old vehicle, indicating either light use or periods of inactivity. No sudden spikes or gaps suggest any irregular driving patterns. A prospective buyer should conduct a hands‑on inspection of components that routinely wear or may develop latent defects. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, checking for any softening or cracking that could compromise ride quality. Inspect the brake system: examine discs for uneven wear or glazing, calipers for binding, and pads for thickness. Even though the MOT record shows no brake faults, real‑world performance can differ. Tyres should be checked for tread depth, sidewall integrity, and any uneven wear that could hint at alignment issues. Wiper blades and the front‑end exhaust stack should be inspected for wear and corrosion, as these components are not always fully covered in MOT checks. Finally, look for any structural rust or damage to the chassis or body panels, particularly around wheel arches and door sills, which could indicate long‑term exposure to moisture or road salt. In sum, the 2025 MOT confirms the car's roadworthiness, and the mileage trend shows consistent, moderate use. A focused inspection of suspension, brakes, tyres, wipers, and structural integrity will provide a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle’s current condition and help identify any hidden wear that the MOT record did not capture.
