2021 CITROEN C3 SHINE + PURETECH S/S AUTO1.2L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with both MOT tests in 2024 and 2025 recording no defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 10,895 miles confirmed compliance, suggesting consistent maintenance practices. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged, indicating the car has not developed mechanical or structural concerns over its five-year lifespan. The mileage history reveals a low annual average of 2,179 miles, with a 2,203-mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This gap of exactly one year raises questions about usage patterns, as the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest potential periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is sparse, the absence of defects implies no immediate risks, though low mileage may mask wear in components like suspension bushes or brake discs that require regular use to remain functional. A physical inspection should focus on corrosion, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, given the vehicle’s low mileage and potential for stagnant fluid systems. Check suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, for signs of fatigue or binding. The brake system, though unmarked in the record, warrants scrutiny for uneven disc wear or caliper stiffness. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity are not flagged, but the car’s age necessitates a thorough check of welds and chassis corrosion, which can develop over time even with minimal use.
