Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 67,576 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 67,572 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five recorded tests from June 2022 to May 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, showing consistent upkeep and no worsening condition. Mileage sat at 41,750 in June 2022, rose to 50,941 by June 2023, then 60,504 in June 2024, and reached 67,576 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles added each year, a steady accumulation close to the 7,508 annual average for a nine-year-old car. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the record. The clean pass history with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues implies the previous owners kept basic consumable and structural checks current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn coil springs, binding calipers, or early structural rust may simply have fallen below test thresholds. Check underneath for corrosion around subframes and sills, and confirm brake disc thickness and tyre sidewall condition match the recorded low-wear profile. Given the 2025 tests sit just over twelve months before today's date, the next MOT is due soon. Plan for a fresh test and a routine service to validate the suspension and drivetrain before committing to purchase.
