2021 CITROEN C3 SHINE + PURETECH S/S1.2L Petrol

The vehicle holds a clean, unblemished MOT record. Every test, including the most recent on 14 March 2026 at 22,353 miles, has resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no evidence of developing mechanical, electrical, or structural issues across the three recorded inspections. The recorded mileage pattern is unusual and warrants attention. The car covered only 4,758 miles in its first year, and by the March 2025 test it had reached just 8,175 miles. That represents fewer than 3,500 miles over twelve months. The following year, however, saw a rapid accumulation of roughly 14,178 miles, bringing the odometer to 22,353 by the March 2026 test. While the test record remains spotless, this abrupt shift from minimal to significantly higher usage suggests a change in ownership or duty cycle, meaning the latest year's wear has not yet been fully exposed by a subsequent inspection. With no faults or advisories on file, the MOT history alone does not flag any specific suspension, brake, or corrosion concerns. However, because the vehicle underwent a substantial mileage increase in its most recent year, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that wear with sustained high-mileage use. Check the condition of the tyres and brake discs for lipping or scoring, listen for suspension bush noise over uneven surfaces, and confirm the undersides are free from impact damage or corrosion that recent road use may have introduced. The paperwork is entirely clean, but the irregular annual mileage means the current condition of these mechanical consumables is the primary unknown.
