2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · PE60 AEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 September 2025 at 90,825 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieves a pass following an initial failure in consecutive years. This pattern suggests that the owner is willing to rectify identified defects to maintain legal road standards rather than allowing the vehicle to fall into a state of neglect. There are no recurring mechanical failures or escalating structural issues present in the recorded history. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 90,825 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,600 miles. The data shows consistent usage over recent intervals, with 3,844 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,736 miles covered prior to the 2025 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the age of the vehicle may lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid chemistry if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on age-related wear that the MOT does not always capture. Given the low usage, check the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs for sagging as these perish over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion, particularly on the inner surfaces where low-use vehicles are prone to pitting and binding calipers. Since the most recent tests recorded no defects, the structural integrity appears sound, but a manual check for surface rust on the sills and wheel arches remains necessary.
