2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · YE68 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in October 2025 at 30,108 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional windscreen washer, thin front brake pads, and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring failures suggest the owner only addresses faults when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 30,108 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,764 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of 4,585 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 4,484 miles between 2023 and 2024. However, low annual mileage often leads to specific mechanical issues such as brake disc corrosion due to a lack of use, which aligns with the pitted and scored discs noted in earlier tests. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the record shows a history of worn discs starting in 2021 and 2022, followed by thin pads in 2025. The repeated mention of uneven tyre wear on the outer edges suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been formally addressed. Additionally, the low mileage warrants a check for perished rubber components and rust on exposed surfaces, as these parts age faster than they wear when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
