2018 CITROEN C3 FLAIR PURETECH1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 01 September 2025 at 74,447 miles passed with no defects recorded, successfully following a failure just nine days prior on 23 August 2025 at 74,304 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, the sequence suggests a minor mechanical issue or a presentation fault that was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The otherwise consistent clean results in previous years indicate the vehicle has maintained a basic passing standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. Between the June 2022 test at 42,782 miles and the July 2023 test at 55,297 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles in thirteen months, indicating a period of higher than average use. The subsequent gap of 19,150 miles between July 2023 and August 2025 shows a similarly steady usage rate. This level of mileage is ideal for modern components as it prevents the excessive corrosion associated with long periods of standing while avoiding the accelerated wear seen on drivetrain and suspension. Since the MOT history lacks recurring structural failures or mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on typical wear for consumable items that do not always trigger a failure. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these are common points of fatigue on the C3. Given the brief failure in August 2025, a technician should also verify for any signs of fluid leaks or uneven brake pad wear to ensure the underlying issue was fully resolved and does not require further attention despite the clean current record.
