2016 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · WN66 CXY

A consistent run of clean MOT results defines this 2016 Citroen C3, with seven consecutive passes from 2020 through to the most recent test on 18 December 2025, where no advisories or defects were recorded at all. Across that entire seven-year window the only advisory issued was a single nearside front outer tyre noted in December 2024 for slight damage, cracking or perishing, and the only minor defect was a cosmetic rear fog lamp lens issue recorded in January 2023. There are no brake, suspension, exhaust, structural or corrosion advisories anywhere in the record, no failures, and no recurring component flags, which collectively points to a steady, untroubled pattern of roadworthiness with no chronic mechanical concerns surfacing in the testing data. The recorded mileage of 20,512 miles over roughly ten years equates to around 2,051 miles per year, which is considerably below the typical accumulation rate for a car of this age and class. The test entries do not show mileage readings directly, but the gap between consecutive annual tests is consistent and there is no evidence of a long off-road period or a sudden jump in usage. Mechanically, very low annual mileage of this kind tends to mean that wear-related items such as brake discs, pads, clutch, and exhaust components have experienced less mechanical usage, but it can also place greater emphasis on condition of rubber and plastic items that deteriorate with age rather than use, and on components affected by infrequent running such as the 12V battery and ancillary drive belts. Given the near spotless advisory record, buyer checks should concentrate on the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, particularly on the nearside front where the only advisory was raised, and confirm that the rubber is of recent manufacture and has adequate tread depth across all four corners. The rear fog lamp lens should be inspected for cracks or moisture ingress, and a simple functional check of the fog lamp itself carried out during a test drive. Beyond that, attention should be paid to the suspension for any knocking or clonking over uneven surfaces, particularly from the front components, and the steering should be assessed for vagueness or pulling that might indicate wear not yet flagged at test. The brakes should be checked for firmness of pedal feel and any vibration under heavy application, which would suggest disc lipping or corrosion, and a thorough visual inspection underneath the vehicle for any surface corrosion, fluid leaks or perished rubber boots is advisable given the relatively low annual mileage, where age-related deterioration of flexible components is often more relevant than outright wear.
