2016 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · PE16 AYD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history suggests a reactive approach rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 69,028 miles passed with no new failures, although the tester noted worn rear brake discs. While the trend is currently stable, the previous failures for lighting, wipers, and tyres indicate the owner tends to only address faults once they fail the annual inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old city car, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 52,284 miles and the July 2024 test at 60,791 miles, the vehicle covered 8,507 miles, representing a normal usage cycle. The relatively low annual mileage often leads to aged rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing the nearside rear tyre flagged in 2024. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of all rubber components, as the 2024 failure for perishing tyres suggests other parts may be suffering from age despite the low mileage. The worn rear brake discs noted in 2025 necessitate a check of the remaining thickness and the condition of the brake calipers. Additionally, the 2023 failure for discoloured indicators and a failed stop lamp warrants an check of the light housings for moisture ingress which could lead to future electrical failures.
