What most often fails on a Citroen C3 at its MOT
Across 231,621 Citroen C3 MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Stop lamp: not working. On 3.8% of Citroen C3 tests, 2.2 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Constant velocity (CV) boot split or insecure. On 3.7% of Citroen C3 tests, 2.9 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Position lamp: not working. On 3.5% of Citroen C3 tests, 1.5 times the rate for cars of the same age.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.
