2012 Citroen C3 1.4L Petrol · YY12 HPX

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 67,320 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive passes across 2023 to 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The owner has kept the vehicle to a clean test standard for over two years. Recorded mileage sits at 67,320 against a 2012 build, equating to roughly 4,809 miles per year. The car covered only 1,576 miles between the November 2023 test at 61,321 miles and the December 2024 test at 62,897 miles, then added 4,423 miles by December 2025. Low annual use of this kind often points to short local journeys or periods of standing, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. Two failed tests appear on 4 December 2024 and 8 December 2025 at identical mileages to the passes logged one day and same day later. The DVSA record shows no defects against either failure. Such paired entries typically reflect administrative re-tests or documentation errors rather than mechanical rejection, but a buyer should confirm with the selling garage what was raised and cleared. In person, check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation given the low use and 14-year lifespan. Inspect underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewalls are sound. The history shows no recurring faults, yet a car of this age and standing pattern warrants a hands-on inspection before purchase.
