2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · PE57 ACH

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 30,506 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in September 2024, suggesting the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 3,310 miles, while it added another 3,765 miles in the following year. This consistent, low-mileage pattern typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low-use vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber seals or corrosion on brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking system and tyres to ensure previous repairs persist. The 2023 test at 23,431 miles flagged pitted brake discs, thin pads, and a worn nearside front tyre. While the subsequent tests were clean, a buyer should verify that the current discs are free of heavy scoring and that the tyres have adequate tread across the axle. Given the low annual mileage, checking for dry rot in the tyres or suspension bushes is also advisable, as these components often age through time rather than pure distance.
