2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · RV10 AFU

The 2010 Citroen C3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 140,353 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over the past four years, with all prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passing without issues. The single 2022 failure at 120,187 miles is notable but explicitly noted as having no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor technicality. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the record, indicating responsible maintenance. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,772 miles annually. The steady increase from 120,187 miles in 2022 to 140,353 miles in 2025 shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity, reflecting regular operation. The absence of significant gaps or irregularities in the MOT timeline supports the conclusion of consistent care. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around chassis rails and suspension mounts, given the vehicle’s age. While no brake-related issues were flagged, the absence of specific data on brake pad thickness or caliper function warrants checking for uneven wear or binding. The exhaust system and engine mounts should also be assessed for age-related degradation, as these components often exhibit latent faults not captured in standard MOT tests. Overall, the record suggests a mechanically sound vehicle, but physical verification remains essential.
