2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · ST10 CYF

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 30 July 2024 at 137,797 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two failed tests that carried no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. At sixteen years old the car shows a consistent and unremarkable record. Annual mileage averages around 8,600 miles, typical for a 2010 supermini. The gap between the September 2022 test at 130,733 miles and the October 2023 test at 136,680 miles shows roughly 6,000 miles covered in thirteen months, a normal use rate. The record is sparse but clean between passes, with no advisories logged on any certificate to indicate creeping wear on consumables or structure. The two failure entries from 13 September 2022 and 24 October 2023 both list no defects, which points to either a documentation error at the testing station or a failure to present the vehicle correctly rather than a breakdown of brakes, suspension, or emissions. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificate numbers against DVSA records to confirm those entries are genuine. In person, check the usual high-mileage Citroen weak points that MOT advisories would normally flag but did not here: front suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion around sills and subframes. The clean sheet means no outstanding mechanical risks are recorded, yet a sixteen-year-old car with 137,797 miles warrants a physical inspection of tyres, exhaust integrity, and steering joints before purchase.
