2015 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · WV15 CVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred repairs regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 29,892 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure the same day due to a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp. The recurring presence of advisories for pitted brake discs and perishing tyres suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 21,894 miles and December 2025 at 29,892 miles, the car covered just over 8,000 miles. This low usage frequency explains the persistent degradation of rubber-based components. The record consistently flags cracking and perishing on all four tyres across three consecutive years, indicating that the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread-related wear. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The offside front suspension arm bush has been flagged for wear in both November 2023 and December 2025, showing that this component has not yet been replaced despite multiple advisories. Furthermore, the front and rear brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored since 2023. Given the low mileage, these issues likely stem from surface corrosion during long periods of inactivity. The tyres should be checked for deep structural cracking, as the history confirms a long-term pattern of degradation that compromises safety regardless of remaining tread depth.
