2021 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · MH21 LDN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 16 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the records for 2025 and 2024, the vehicle has maintained a consistent trend of clean passes without a single recorded failure or advisory. This suggests a stable maintenance history and indicates that the previous owner has likely addressed wear and tear items before they reached a critical state or that the vehicle has been used in a manner that has preserved its mechanical integrity. With a recorded mileage of 34,288 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,858 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for a small hatchback and represents a balanced profile. It is high enough to ensure that the engine and drivetrain have been regularly exercised, preventing the stagnation issues often seen in very low mileage examples, yet low enough to avoid the accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine internals associated with high mileage urban commuting. Given the absence of MOT defects, the prospective buyer should focus on age related maintenance and manufacturer specific requirements. For the PureTech engine, it is critical to verify the service history regarding the timing belt, as these are often oil immersed and require strict adherence to oil specifications and replacement intervals to prevent belt degradation. Ensure the service book is stamped and that the correct grade of oil has been used to avoid sludge buildup or premature belt failure. Physically, the buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, which can occur even at moderate mileages as the rubber ages. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, and ensure the 12V battery holds a strong charge, as these components can degrade over a five year period regardless of mileage. Finally, verify that calendar based fluid changes, specifically for the brake fluid and coolant, have been performed to prevent internal corrosion of the braking system and cooling circuit.
