2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · LR60 FOM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a string of clean passes in recent years. The most recent test conducted on 24 June 2025 at 84,392 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. This follows a period of consistent compliance after a failure in September 2022, suggesting that any previous issues were addressed promptly and not recurring. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,274 miles per year. Data shows a significant drop in usage between September 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered only 1,833 miles in ten months. Since July 2023, usage has increased slightly, with roughly 18,500 miles recorded between the June and 2025 tests. This low annual mileage often reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components common to low-mileage, older Citroen models. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish or weaken with age regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust. Additionally, inspect the underbody for structural corrosion to ensure that the low mileage has not masked age-related decay of the chassis.
