2004 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · OV04 NSZ

The 2004 Citroen C3 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, passing its most recent MOT on 29 April 2025 at 96,034 miles with zero defects recorded. The four consecutive annual tests from April 2022 to April 2025 all returned clean passes, indicating consistent maintenance without failures or unresolved advisories. The tester flagged no binding calipers, no excessive corrosion affecting structural integrity, and no exhaust emissions faults across the entire history. The mileage pattern shows low annual use relative to the vehicle's age. The odometer climbed from 86,350 miles in April 2022 to 96,034 miles in April 2025, accumulating 9,684 miles over three years, an average of 3,228 miles per year. This sits below the lifetime average of 4,365 miles per year and suggests the car has seen light duty or prolonged stationary periods. The steady 3,000-3,500 mile yearly increments show no sudden spikes or gaps that would indicate inconsistent ownership or storage neglect. The unblemished record means no specific mechanical faults recur in the data, but the vehicle's age and mileage warrant a thorough in-person inspection of rubber and metal wear items. Suspension bushes, anti-roll bar bushes, and coil spring mounts should be checked for cracking and perishing after two decades of service. Brake discs and drums require measurement for wear and corrosion, while the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for rust and emissions compliance given the low annual mileage. The underbody and wheel arches demand close scrutiny for corrosion, as extended periods of low use can accelerate rust in hidden panels.
