2012 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · YF12 ADZ

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 8 September 2025 at 28,895 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has remained in remarkably good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures common in this model. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,064 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered only 1,932 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking surfaces, stationary use can introduce specific risks related to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mileage-based wear. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage stationary periods. Inspect the tyres for signs of flat-spotting or perished sidewalls, as rubber often degrades over time regardless of distance driven. The brake discs should be checked for corrosion or seized calipers resulting from inactivity, and the suspension bushes should be examined for cracking to ensure they have not become brittle due to age.
