2022 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · KS72 AAU

The Citroën C3 has passed its most recent MOT test on 2 December 2025 at exactly 31,206 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a clean record for the sole available test, though the absence of prior MOTs means there is no historical context to assess trends in maintenance or recurring failures. The vehicle’s current status is therefore unremarkable—no immediate red flags have been raised by the tester, though this does not preclude undocumented wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 31,206 miles over approximately four years suggests a steady usage pattern of around 7,800 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps in service or rapid mileage spikes to indicate neglect or heavy use, though the lack of earlier MOT records prevents confirmation of whether earlier owners adhered to regular maintenance schedules. Without additional service history, the buyer cannot rely on this data alone to infer long-term reliability. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not covered by the MOT’s limited scope. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of bushes, coil springs, and dampers—since these are not routinely tested for wear. The brakes, while not flagged in the most recent test, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs and pads. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, as this is a common failure point for light vehicles. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around joints and mounts. Finally, the electrical system—including lights, indicators, and the battery—should be tested, as these are frequently overlooked but critical for roadworthiness.
