2018 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · SM67 ABK

The Citroen C3 stands as roadworthy per the latest MOT on 25 July 2025 at 47,891 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year record, showing consistent clean examinations apart from a curious failure on 26 May 2023 at 32,712 miles that listed no defects before a same-day pass. That anomaly hints at a procedural error rather than mechanical neglect. Mileage progression signals light use for a 2018 model. The 1 June 2022 test at 25,795 miles preceded a rise to 32,712 miles by May 2023, then 39,610 miles in May 2024, reaching 47,891 miles by July 2025. Annual increments of roughly 6,900 to 8,300 miles confirm low yearly averages near 6,000 miles per annum. The record stays unbroken with no testing gaps, suggesting previous owners met legal obligations promptly. Absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake calipers, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion denotes a car kept to minimum pass standard. Low mileage and possible standing periods can still conceal age-related degradation in rubber components and tyres. A buyer should physically check coil springs for snapping, brake discs for lip wear, and underbody seams for rust that MOT intervals might miss. The May 2023 duplicate entry implies clerical rather than mechanical fault, as no defects accompanied either outcome. Prior keepers displayed compliant behaviour but left no signal of proactive servicing beyond statutory tests. Inspect service book and confirm cambelt interval for this petrol unit before purchase.
