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

The vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 at 58,380 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as the prior test in 2024-11-14 at 55,574 miles also showed no issues. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged, indicating consistent adherence to road safety standards. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been maintained to a satisfactory level, though the high annual mileage of 14,595 miles raises questions about long-term component wear. The mileage accumulation shows a sharp decline between 2024 and 2025, with only 2,806 miles added over 12 months, compared to the average of 14,595 miles per year. This gap may reflect reduced usage or periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like seized components or battery degradation. However, the MOT records remain clean, with no evidence of corrosion, exhaust emissions violations, or suspension failures. The lack of data beyond two tests limits a full assessment of long-term reliability. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates these parts’ deterioration. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even if not flagged in MOTs. Corrosion in underbody areas, particularly in regions with harsh winters, warrants scrutiny. While the MOT history is unremarkable, the vehicle’s usage pattern and age suggest proactive maintenance is essential to mitigate risks associated with elevated annual mileage.
