2016 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · PY65 FWC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT testing history. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 93,309 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the owner effectively addressed any emerging mechanical issues. While a failure was recorded in November 2023, the immediate subsequent pass just one mile later suggests a specific, minor fault was rectified quickly rather than a pattern of systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 52,500 miles and December 2022 at 68,301 miles, the car covered over 15,000 miles, showing a period of higher intensity. The interval of 16,500 miles covered between November 2023 and April 2025 reflects a steady rate of use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake-related corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, as these are the areas most prone to wear on a Citroen C3 of this age. Although the record shows no history of advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, a physical check of the rubber components and the condition of the brake discs remains necessary. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, verifying structural integrity around the underbody is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed that has not yet been flagged by the tester.
