2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · WN60 YFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 31,613 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical concern in late 2024. While the 2024 test identified several issues regarding the exhaust mounting and suspension arm bushes, the clean sheet from the following year suggests that the owner addressed these specific faults before the next inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2022 and November 2024, where the car covered only 2,027 miles over two years. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of age-related components degrading. The record shows a consistent pattern of low-distance travel over the last decade, suggesting the car likely sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the rubber components, as the history shows a recurring issue with perishing material. The tester flagged perished rear tyres in 2016 and cracked rear tyres in 2023, with further sidewall damage noted in 2024. Given the low mileage, the tyres likely suffer from dry rot rather than tread wear. Close attention should also be paid to the suspension and braking system, as the 2024 test specifically noted wear in the front suspension arm bushes and the 2015 failure highlighted binding brakes and contaminated discs. Verify that the CV joint gaiters are intact to prevent the mechanical failure seen in previous records.
