2007 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · WJ07 LUY

The 2026-01-02 MOT at 75,759 miles confirmed the 2007 Citroen C3 as roadworthy with no defects recorded, signalling a stable maintenance trend despite earlier failures at lower mileage. The mileage trajectory shows a low annual average of roughly 3,987 miles per year over 19 years, yet the record reveals uneven usage: a jump of about 4,000 miles between the January 2023 (70,220 miles) and January 2024 (74,217 miles) tests, followed by minimal accumulation of 416 miles in 2025 and 1,128 miles in 2026. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. Check the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions, assess tyre tread depth and evenness, and confirm that any previously flagged advisories have been fully remedied before purchase.
