2008 Citroen C3 1.4L Diesel · YT08 GYZ

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 82,611 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with four consecutive passes between October 2022 and November 2025 and a single failure on 28 October 2025 at 82,598 miles that carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear on any entry, so the documented history shows no worsening pattern of wear or recurring faults. The odometer sat at 71,620 miles for the October 2022 test and rose to 75,290 by October 2023, then 79,014 by October 2024 and 82,611 by the November 2025 pass. That equates to roughly 3,600 to 3,700 miles added each year, well below the national average for an eighteen-year-old car and consistent with light private use. The low annual accumulation and clean test sheet imply the previous keeper limited mileage and kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse record leaves no visibility of consumable changes between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm those items remain within tolerance. Standing periods implied by low mileage can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers, so the sills, subframes, and rear brake freedom warrant close checks despite the clear MOT outcomes. The October 2025 failure with no defects recorded merits a query with the seller to confirm the rectification or retest cause. Beyond that anomaly, the DVSA history supports a sound mechanical baseline, but the lack of advisories across five years means unseen wear on tyres, wipers, and exhaust emissions can only be verified on the ramp.
