2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · KV18 AEK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2026 at 93,224 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is currently stable following a period of significant neglect in late 2021. Since the clean result in December 2023, the car has maintained consecutive passes, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle is now receiving consistent oversight. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,650 miles per year. There was a notable jump in usage of 14,324 miles between December 2022 and December 2023, followed by a stead accumulation of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles annually thereafter. This regular interval suggests typical use rather than long periods of standing, though the total mileage over 93,000 marks the vehicle at a stage where increased wear on drivetrain and suspension is expected. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment due to the recurring tyre issues noted in 2024 and 2025. The tester flagged thin tread and uneven edge wear on the nearside rear and both front tyres, which often indicates poor wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes and dampers. Additionally, while the 2021 failures highlighted thin brake pads and worn discs, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the front brake components to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The history from 2021 also reveals a period of poor basic maintenance, including a damaged seat belt and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. While these were resolved to pass subsequent tests, a physical check should confirm that the seat belt mechanism is secure and the TPMS is now functioning correctly. Given the lack of structural corrosion advisories in the recent records, the primary focus remains on the state of consumable items and the integrity of the rubber-related components.
