2015 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · SH15 VPZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently stable based on the most recent MOT test held on 3 June 2025. While the vehicle passed on this date, the history reveals a pattern of recurring mechanical deficiencies, particularly concerning the suspension and drivetrain components. The failure recorded on 3 June 2025 noted fractured offside coil springs on both the front and rear axles, which indicates a significant failure of the suspension system at that point in time. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,553 miles per year. However, the most significant mechanical issues were flagged during the period between 88,983 and 94,083 miles. The failure on 7 June 2024 highlighted a split and insecure nearside front outer drive shaft joint, a structural concern that requires immediate inspection. The repeat failure on 3 June 2025 confirms that the suspension issues were not resolved, suggesting that previous ownership did not address the underlying faults. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly for signs of wear or damage, particularly the coil springs and associated mounting points, as these have failed twice. The brake discs have been noted as worn and pitted across multiple tests, requiring assessment for potential performance degradation. Furthermore, the history of defective exhaust mounting, noted three times in 2024, suggests potential leaks or structural fatigue in the exhaust system that should be checked for corrosion or damage.
