Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 recorded a pass at 31,701 miles, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. However, the test flagged a slightly discoloured off‑side rear direction indicator and recurring tyre surface damage, so the overall condition is stable but with persistent minor wear that merits monitoring. At 31,701 miles the 2014 Citroën C3 averages roughly 2,640 miles per year, well below typical usage for its age. Mileage rose from 25,321 miles in November 2023 to 28,613 miles a year later, then to 31,701 miles in November 2025, showing a consistent, low‑intensity accumulation rather than any sudden spikes. The record contains no large gaps; each annual test aligns with a modest increase, suggesting the car has spent most of its life under light duty rather than high‑stress operation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre condition. The off‑side rear tyre has been noted repeatedly for slight damage, cracking and, in 2024, a structural tear that required a fail. The near‑side front tyre also shows curb‑scuff damage. Inspect both tyres for tread depth, sidewall integrity and any signs of delamination. The 2023‑2024 tests highlighted a defective exhaust back‑box mounting; verify that the exhaust system is securely attached and free of corrosion. The windscreen washer failure in 2023 suggests a possible neglected fluid system—confirm that the washer pump operates and that there are no leaks. Finally, check the direction indicator lamp housing for moisture ingress that caused the discoloration, and ensure all lighting functions are fully operational. Overall, the car presents a low‑mileage, mechanically sound platform, but the recurring tyre and exhaust mounting issues require a thorough visual and functional check before purchase.
