2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · MM68 AAY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to brakes and tyres. The most recent test in January 2026 at 78,234 miles flagged thinning front brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in February 2025 where the car failed initially for pitted brake discs and incorrect headlamp aim, suggesting the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady increase from 30,245 miles in early 2022 to 78,234 miles in early 2026. The significant gap of over 13,000 miles between the 2025 and early 2026 tests indicates regular road use, which is generally positive for engine health than long periods, though it explains the consistent wear observed on consumable components like the braking system and tyres. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system as the record shows recurring issues with pitting and scoring on discs across all four corners since 2022. The repeated mention of worn discs suggests the calipers may be sticking or that the vehicle is being driven until components are structurally exhausted. Furthermore, because the front tyres consistently hit the 2mm limit in 2023 and 2026, the buyer should check for uneven wear caused by alignment issues, as the tester specifically noted wear on the edges of the rubber.
