2013 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · X13 OYG

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a clean pass in the December 2025 test at 66,700 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement, moving from a series of failures in 2023 and 2024 to a defect-free result in the most recent inspection. While the 2024 test initially flagged several issues, including a split offside front drive shaft CV boot and tyre wear, these were clearly rectified to achieve the subsequent pass. The mileage profile indicates light usage for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,131 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 57,244 miles in December 2023 to 66,700 miles in December 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subject to heavy long-distance commuting, though the history of under-inflated tyres and lighting failures suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive with basic upkeep. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and drivetrain components. The December 2024 failure specifically highlighted a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, so checking for grease leakage or clicking noises during low-speed turns is necessary to ensure the repair was permanent. The 2023 failure also noted a faulty offside front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, making a check of the front suspension bushes and joints advisable to confirm no further degradation has occurred. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres and lighting systems. The record shows recurring issues with tyre inflation, tread depth, and fouling, alongside multiple bulb failures. While the 2025 test was clear, checking for uneven tyre wear and ensuring all indicator and position lamps function correctly will confirm the vehicle's current electrical and consumable status.
