2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · LG60 JDF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 February 2026 at 55,452 miles. This test was clean, with no defects or advisories recorded. While the car failed its tests on 30 January 2026 and 16 January 2025, the records show no specific defects listed for those failures, suggesting the issues were minor or rectified immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 3,466 miles per year. The odometer shows a steady increase from 43,952 miles in October 2023 to 55,452 miles in February 2026. This indicates the car has been used sparingly over the last three years, covering approximately 11,500 miles in that period. Low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack over time regardless of mileage. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years is positive, but it does not rule out the risk of seized brake calipers or corrosion on the underbody and sills. Given the lack of detailed failure data in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on fluid condition and battery health. Long periods of light use can lead to moisture buildup in the exhaust system and oil sludge if service intervals were extended based on mileage rather than time. Checking for signs of structural rust is essential for a vehicle of this vintage.
