2005 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · LF05 WCM

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on March 30, 2026, at 52,545 miles, passed with no defects recorded. However, the previous test on March 30, 2026, at 52,544 miles, failed due to an inoperative engine MIL, a malfunctioning offside wiper, and a misaligned near-side headlamp. This suggests a recent maintenance lapse, possibly due to a missed engine fault or a simple wiper replacement oversight. The trend is mixed, with some issues resolving quickly and others recurring. The vehicle's maintenance history is inconsistent, with some tests passing and others failing within a short timeframe. The recorded mileage of 52,545 miles over 21 years implies an average of 2,502 miles per year, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This could indicate lighter use, long periods of inactivity, or a combination of both. The data is sparse, with only four tests conducted over a 12-month period, leaving gaps in the maintenance history. The low mileage suggests that the vehicle may have been stored or used sparingly, which could have affected the condition of consumables like brake pads and wipers. The recurring faults in the MOT history highlight several areas of concern. The near and offside front brake pads have been flagged as wearing thin or less than 1.5 mm thick in multiple tests, indicating a potential brake wear issue. The rear exhaust silencer has been noted as corroded in two tests, suggesting a need for inspection for structural integrity and potential leaks. The electrical components, including headlamps, indicators, and lamps, have shown various malfunctions, pointing to a need for a thorough electrical inspection. Additionally, the near-side rear door dent and damaged bump stops in the 2024 test warrant a structural inspection to ensure no underlying damage has occurred. A buyer should inspect the brakes, exhaust system, electrical components, and structural integrity in person.
