2016 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · WR16 UGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the recent test in October 2025 at 44,657 miles passed, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. This indicates that while the car is mechanically sound for now, the owner is only beginning to address wear-and-tear items as they approach legal limits, rather than replacing them before failure. At 44,657 miles, this 2016 Citroen C3 has significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,466 miles per year. The usage appears consistent between 2022 and 2025, with the vehicle covering roughly 5,000 miles annually. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from secondary degradation of rubber components and brake calipers due to stationary periods. The lack of defects in the 2022 and 2023 tests suggests a period of stability that has subsequently deteriorated into the most recent inspection results. A buyer must inspect the braking system specifically, as the October 2025 test flagged thinning rear brake pads. Given the presence of a nail in the offside rear tyre and edge wear on the nearside front, a full set of tyres will likely require immediate replacement. The uneven wear on the front tyres also suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to prevent further premature wear on new rubber. Check for corrosion on the underbody and exhaust, as low-mileage does not guarantee structural integrity over a decade.
