2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · ML60 VOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 82,248 miles passed despite multiple critical advisories regarding three tyres worn to the legal limit and discoloured indicators. This follows a pattern seen in the 2024 test where the offside rear tyre was also flagged, suggesting the owner tends to wait until components reach failure points before replacing them. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 82,248 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,140 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent across the records, with a 6,857-mile interval between November 2024 and 2025, and another 5,121 miles in the preceding year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals over time, which may be evidenced by the mechanical issues noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and steering components following the November 2023 failure due to excessive play in the offside front track rod end. The recurring mention of thin brake linings and multiple worn tyres indicates that the braking system requires a thorough check for uneven wear or binding calipers. Furthermore, the edge-wear noted on multiple tyres in 2025 suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature failure of any new rubber.
