2010 Citroen C3 1.1L Petrol · TH10 TEH

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 15 January 2026 at 56,362 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. While the history shows two failures in previous years, these were rectified immediately as evidenced by subsequent passes, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,523 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 3,602 miles, and it added another 1,530 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This low usage pattern suggests minimal wear and tear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age are prone to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid oxidation due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related decay that the low mileage might mask. Examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, as moisture can cause rust on cars that sit stationary. Inspect the suspension bushes and mounts for cracking or tearing, as these materials become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. Given the clean recent records, also check the brake calipers for any seizing or pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles are not used regularly.
