2016 Citroen C3 1.0L Petrol · SL16 LFB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 25 July 2025 at 17,913 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a clean-sheet record across the last five inspections. This consistency suggests the vehicle has remained in good mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over time. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,791 miles per year. There is a notable two-year gap between August 2021 and August 2023, during which the car covered only 2,479 miles. Since 2023, usage has increased slightly, covering 4,002 miles over two years leading to the 2025 test. This low-frequency usage typically indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it often increases the risk of fluid-related issues if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT history is devoid of recorded faults, a buyer should focus on issues associated with low-mileage storage. An inspection must check for flat spots on the tyres, perished rubber bushings, and seized brake calipers caused by lack of use. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake fluid and check for oil ingress, which can affect vehicles with low annual mileage. While the record suggests a well-maintained car, the physical state of age-related rubber components remains the priority for an on-person inspection.
