2013 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · PJ13 ACV

This Citroen C3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 17 September 2025 at 109,036 miles passed without a single defect or advisory recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is typical for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,387 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2023 test at 100,718 miles and the September 2025 test at 109,036 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,159 miles per annum over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across multiple years. While the record shows failures on 5 September 2023 and 2 September 2024, these were resolved within one to two days, indicating a proactive approach to immediate repairs. The lack of recurring faults suggests a consistent maintenance regime rather than a cycle of neglect. A buyer should still perform a physical check for common age-related wear not always captured in a basic MOT. Focus on the condition of the clutch and gear shift smoothness, as the 109,036 mile mark often coincides with drivetrain wear. Inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust and check the tyre tread depths, as the absence of advisories in the record does not guarantee that consumables are not nearing the end of their service life.
