2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · NU10 AEJ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 1 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last three years without any recorded defects or advisories. It is unusual that the vehicle failed its tests on 27 November 2024 and 27 November 2025 despite no defects being listed in the record, which suggests administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,236 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 103,253 miles and the December 2025 test at 115,780 miles, the vehicle covered 12,527 miles. This indicates steady, regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The absence of advisories over several years is atypical for a sixteen year old Citroen C3. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged if the car was cleaned prior to testing. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment, as these components naturally degrade regardless of the MOT outcome. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and timing belt have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals. While the MOT record is clean, it only provides a snapshot of safety and emissions. A physical check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is necessary to determine if the previous owner maintained consumables or simply did the bare minimum to pass the annual inspection.
