CITROEN C32017 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 53,019 miles passed without defects, it followed an immediate failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a failed offside front headlamp. The resolution of these minor electrical and sensor issues suggests the owner addresses faults only when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing routine pre-test checks. At nine years old with 53,019 miles, this Citroen C3 shows significantly below-average usage, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with intervals of roughly 4,700 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 3,700 miles the following year. This low-mile profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage driving can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake system seals over long periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the exhaust system, as the record shows recurring issues between 2023 and 2024 involving defective mounts and a leak at the cat converter section. While the vehicle passed the latest test, the corrosion on the lower mount noted in 2024 remains a structural concern if not monitored. Given the previous electrical failures related to lamps and monitoring systems, a thorough check of all external lighting and sensor wiring is necessary to ensure no further latent faults exist that could cause a future failure.
