2008 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · LR08 ABN

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 10 March 2026 at 126,448 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in a road-legal state without the need for reactive, last-minute repairs. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,025 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, moving from 100,988 miles in March 2022 to 126,448 miles by March 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest the vehicle was neglected or used for extreme short-trip city driving. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the absence of advisories on an 18-year-old vehicle does not guarantee the absence of age-related wear. A buyer should manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or hairline cracks, as these components often degrade regardless of test outcomes. Checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is also advisable, as surface rust can exist without triggering a failure. The lack of recorded brake or tyre advisories over the last five years suggests a diligent owner, but a physical check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is necessary to confirm they are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the clean history, the primary focus should be on the general condition of the rubber seals and the operational status of the electronics.
