2013 Citroen C3 1.6L Petrol · YR63 YFA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 62,888 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 4,838 miles per year. The distance covered between 25 July 2023 at 44,288 miles and 5 July 2024 at 53,029 miles shows a period of higher usage, adding nearly 9,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has slowed, with 5,586 miles added between July 2024 and February 2025, and a further 5,275 miles by January 2026. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. While the DVSA records show no failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the low overall mileage suggests the car may have spent periods standing. This can lead to perished rubber seals or seized brake calipers that a standard MOT might not immediately flag if the vehicle is functioning at the time of testing. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and brake fluid, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the chassis and underbody, as the record does not explicitly detail the state of the structural integrity beyond the pass result. Verify the battery health and oil condition to ensure the low annual mileage has not resulted in neglect of basic fluid intervals.
