2012 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · WV62 GGJ

This 2012 Citroen C3 has covered approximately 122,296 miles, which averages to around 8,735 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a standard balance of wear across the drivetrain and suspension components. The most recent MOT from November 2023 was a pass, but the history reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding maintenance and safety items. There is a persistent trend of issues involving lighting, tyres, and suspension components. Specifically, the vehicle has repeatedly failed on items such as inoperative headlamps, worn tyres, and worn suspension bushings or anti-roll bar components. The mechanical condition appears to be stable but shows signs of aging that are not being proactively addressed. While the car passed its last test, several advisory items remain, including an engine oil leak, corroded brake hoses, thinning brake pads, and a leaking nearside rear shock absorber. The fact that these issues have appeared across multiple years suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The presence of ongoing advisories for corrosion and leaks indicates that while the car is roadworthy, it is entering a phase where more significant repair costs may arise. The recurring issues with lighting and tyres suggest the previous owner may have been cutting corners on basic upkeep.
