2015 Citroen C3 1.0L Petrol · NX65 TOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 51,739 miles passed but flagged immediate advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors issues seen in 2022, suggesting that tyres are often ignored until they reach failure point rather than being replaced at standard intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. However, the usage appears inconsistent across the recorded periods. For instance, the car covered over 10,000 miles between March 2025 and April 2026, compared to only a 2,200-mile gap in the preceding year. This low annual mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the recurring cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in 2022 and 2023. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front-end suspension and drivetrain components. The August 2024 test at 39,399 miles identified a deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft boot and play in the offside front track rod end. While these may have been addressed, the buyer must verify the new boot is not leaking grease and the steering geometry remains precise. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, a professional alignment check is essential to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature failure of new tyres.
