2010 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · PE60 AED

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT compliance, with the most recent test on 4 August 2025 showing a pass at 100,635 miles. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding the pass in both 2024 and 2025, the absence of recorded defects suggests these may have been minor issues rectified quickly or clerical errors in the database. The current status indicates the vehicle is legally roadworthy, though the pattern of failing and then passing on the same day suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age and type. The car has covered 100,635 miles over 16 years, averaging approximately 6,290 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 92,235 miles in August 2023 to 95,417 miles in August 2024, and finally to 100,635 miles in August 2025. This roughly 5,000-mile annual increment is typical for a light commuter vehicle and suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Because the MOT history lacks specific technical details regarding the previous failures, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the mechanical integrity of wear-and-tear components. You should pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and bushings, as well as the condition of the brake discs and calipers for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. Given the age of the Citroen, checking for structural corrosion on the underside and ensuring the exhaust system remains secure is also advisable. The lack of recorded advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator, but it does not replace a thorough mechanical check. Focus on inspecting the tyres for adequate tread depth and checking for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox. While the MOT record suggests a clean bill of health, the recurring failure-to-pass pattern warrants a close look at the vehicle's service history to ensure all necessary maintenance has been documented beyond the basic requirements of the MOT test.
