2020 Citroen C3 Aircross Flair Bluehdi S/S 1.5L Diesel · AYZ 1113

The vehicle currently holds a questionable roadworthiness status following a failure in its most recent MOT test on 16 May 2026. While the car passed its previous inspection with no defects, the sudden failure at 52,222 miles indicates a specific mechanical or safety issue that requires immediate attention. Because no specific defects were listed for this failure in the provided data, the maintenance trend shifts from stable to a state of non-compliance, preventing the vehicle from being legal for the road. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between the April 2024 test at 40,228 miles and the May 2026 test at 52,222 miles, the car covered 11,994 miles over two years. This suggests regular, moderate usage rather than long periods of stagnation. The interval between these two tests shows that the vehicle has been driven consistently, which generally helps prevent the corrosion and seal issues associated with long-term parking. A buyer must verify the specific reason for the May 2026 failure before proceeding with a purchase. Given the clean record at 40,228 miles, the failure likely relates to a component reaching the end of its life, such as worn bushes, degraded tyres, or an exhaust emission issue. A physical inspection of the suspension geometry and the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure no deeper structural corrosion or mechanical faults have developed. Without the specific defect codes from the latest test, the vehicle represents a risk regarding immediate repair costs.
