2015 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · PY65 GFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 47,881 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the failure immediately prior to this pass indicates a lapse in preventative inspections. The tester identified a failed nearside rear stop lamp and split constant velocity boots on both front outer drive shaft joints. These faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, suggesting the owner responds to official failures once they are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per year. The record shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 39,947 miles in July 2023 to 47,881 miles in May 2026. This pattern of use often implies short-distance city driving, which generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on brake discs if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front drive area to ensure the replacement CV boots are properly seated and not already leaking grease, as both sides failed simultaneously in 2026. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to check for cracking in suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which age with time regardless of distance driven. The lack of advisories regarding structural rust or brake thinning in the previous three years suggests the structural integrity of the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
