2012 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · OV62 DZC

This Citroen C3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of no defects across its most recent tests. The most recent pass on 20 November 2025 at 61,179 miles shows the vehicle is currently compliant with DVSA standards. While the car failed its tests on 22 October 2025 and 21 October 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the same visit. The vehicle has covered 61,179 miles over 14 years, averaging roughly 4,370 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average for a car of this age. The mileage accumulation remains consistent, increasing by 6,214 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and by 4,514 miles between October 2024 and November 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage to suggest clocking or prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot or corrosion, as these are common failure points on older C3 models. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and cambelt have been changed based on time intervals rather than mileage. The MOT record is exceptionally clean, but it does not replace a full service history. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, to ensure the low mileage has not masked a life spent in a damp environment.
