2013 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · YC63 OHW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on May 28, 2026, 88,259 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable after a period of reactive repairs the previous year. While the 2025 test revealed specific mechanical and electrical failures, the subsequent pass a year later with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the identified faults promptly to bring the car back to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 71,817 miles in May 2023 to 88,259 miles in May 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that suggest irregular use. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which can help prevent the age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite the relatively low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking components that have previously shown weakness. The 2025 failure regarding a nearside track rod end with excessive play indicates that the steering geometry is susceptible to wear. A buyer should verify that all ball joints and suspension bushes are free of play now. Additionally, since the rear brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in 2025, the current thickness and surface of the discs should be checked for uneven wear or residual corrosion to ensure they were properly replaced rather than merely cleaned.
