2007 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · WR57 XMW

The April 2026 MOT at 101,358 miles resulted in a pass, but the near side rear service brake remained binding and the seat belt anchorage showed corrosion, indicating a stable but concerning maintenance trend; the near side rear tyre displayed slight cracking, and the offside rear suspension component mounting was also noted as corroded. The vehicle is 19 years old with 101,358 recorded miles, averaging about 5,335 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age; however mileage rose sharply between 2018 and 2020, reaching 98,829 miles, then plateaued with only modest increases to the present, suggesting long periods of inactivity. Recurring faults such as deteriorated suspension ball‑joint dust covers, persistent near side rear brake binding, and corrosion on the offside rear sill and seat‑belt anchorage point to intermittent neglect of suspension and structural components, while repeated tyre perishing and previous washer/wiper failures indicate inconsistent attention to consumables. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, examine the brake calipers, discs and pads for wear or binding, check the sill and seat‑belt mounting areas for rust, assess tyre tread and sidewall condition, and verify that all lighting and washer systems operate correctly.
