2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · ST14 MFA

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 112,093 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 4 September 2023 at 82,912 miles is anomalous, as the record shows no defects listed and the same-day retest passed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Annual mileage averages around 9,300 miles, typical for a 2014 vehicle of this class. The records show consistent yearly increments: 64,302 miles in March 2022, 82,912 miles in September 2023, 99,508 miles in September 2024, and 112,093 miles in September 2025. A gap exists between the March 2022 and September 2023 tests spanning eighteen months, yet the mileage rose only 18,610 miles in that period, so no rapid accumulation or long-standing neglect is evident from the data. The clean advisory history across all tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within limits. No corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission faults appear in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as MOT passes without advisories do not capture wear below test thresholds. Given the uneventful test sequence and ordinary mileage, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring concern. The 2023 same-day fail-and-pass remains unexplained by the supplied data and warrants a check of the full DVSA test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect.
