2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · SN10 ACM

The Citroen C3 holds a roadworthy pass as of the 9 September 2024 test at 110,406 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads stable across the available history, with annual passes from 2021 through 2024 and no advisories logged. A failure on 7 September 2024 at 110,384 miles shows no defects listed; this anomalous entry points to a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the swift pass two days later confirms the car met standards. Mileage progression matches typical use for a 2010 vehicle. The record charts 81,796 miles on 15 September 2021, 96,167 miles by 20 September 2022, 104,084 miles on 21 September 2023, and 110,406 miles at the September 2024 pass. That linear climb averages near 6,900 miles per year, reflecting consistent light private use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse five-entry history carries zero advisories, suggesting either careful presentation or minimal tester scrutiny. The DVSA entries flag no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or brake and suspension issues across the five tests. A buyer must still scrutinise typical wear points on a sixteen-year-old chassis at 110,406 miles. The tester would have assessed suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, exhaust emissions and structural integrity, but clean paperwork does not guarantee freedom from perished rubber or hidden rust. The no-defect failure on 7 September 2024 hints at a clerical quirk rather than neglected consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. Prior owners kept the car to a steady annual distance and cleared every MOT. Physical verification of underbody condition, tyre tread and service stamps remains essential before purchase, alongside a independent mechanic's inspection of aged components.
