2014 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · YE14 XHR

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 with 86,362 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of reactive tyre-related repairs. While the most recent test shows a clean sheet, the history indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance where owners only addressed specific safety failures once flagged during annual testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 76,140 miles and the March 2025 test at 84,458 miles, the car covered 8,318 miles, followed by 1,904 miles leading up to the April 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and wheels, as the failures in 2023 and 2025 highlight a history of neglecting tyre cracking, uneven wear, and structural damage to the cords. The 2023 advisories regarding edge wear on both rear tyres suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may still require monitoring. Given the age of the Citroen, the inspection should also focus on corrosion on the exhaust system and structural integrity of the chassis, as these are common points of failure for this model that have not yet appeared in the recent clean MOT records.
