2022 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · WV22 AKK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-04-10 at 15,242 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the single recorded test found no issues requiring immediate attention. No advisories or failures were noted, indicating the car has met legal standards for road use. This suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a basic level, though the absence of historical data limits insight into long-term reliability. The recorded mileage of 15,242 miles for a 2022 model is unusually low, equating to approximately 3,810 miles annually. This suggests either light usage or extended periods of inactivity, which can affect components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes through lack of use. The gap between MOT tests exceeds the typical annual cycle, which may indicate the vehicle was not regularly inspected or driven. While the current test shows no faults, the sparse record means potential issues from prolonged storage or infrequent operation remain unverified. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, which may degrade without regular stress. The exhaust system and corrosion levels in the underbody warrant scrutiny, as low mileage can mask hidden rust or flaking. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, as infrequent use may lead to binding or uneven friction. No structural integrity concerns were flagged, but physical verification of these components is essential to confirm the MOT’s findings align with the vehicle’s actual condition.
