2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · N14 WAC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, as evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 27 April 2026 at 82,479 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the owner consistently addressing identified faults to ensure subsequent annual passes. While the history shows occasional failures related to lighting and suspension, the most recent test recorded no advisories or defects, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a functional standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 5,155 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the decade, for example, showing only 3,400 miles driven between April 2024 and April 2026. Such low annual mileage often results in less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, as seen in the 2015 report regarding perished tyres and the potential for seized bushes or seals. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry, which has shown a recurring history of wear. The tester flagged a fractured offside front coil spring in April 2024 and a worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint in 2020. While these were rectified, the buyer should check for any play in the anti-roll bar linkages and bushings, which were previously noted in 2016. Additionally, the nail found in the nearside front tyre in May 2025 indicates that tyre condition should be monitored for uneven wear or sidew cracking given the low mileage and high age of the vehicle.
