2011 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · SA61 HCK

The 2023‑01‑14 MOT at 75,054 miles recorded a pass, yet the test log lists multiple advisories such as a cracked windscreen, oil leak, corroded front discs, a compromised front sub‑frame and rusted rear chassis rails. These recurring defects show a worsening trend, as earlier failures in 2017 and 2020 already documented broken rear coil springs, track‑rod end play and exhaust mounting faults that have persisted into the latest inspection. At roughly 5,004 miles per year the vehicle’s mileage is low for its 15‑year age, but the recorded increments are uneven. A jump from 57,293 miles in August 2018 to 70,553 miles by August 2020 represents an accumulation of over 13,000 miles in two years, while the period from August 2021 to January 2023 added only 2,103 miles, indicating long periods of inactivity that likely contributed to the observed corrosion. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the track‑rod end and constant‑velocity joint boots for play or damage, test the rear brake calipers for binding, and assess the condition of the front discs and sub‑frame for rust. The history also flags an oil leak, a spare wheel positioned offside front, and wiper performance issues, all of which merit close verification during a physical inspection.
