2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · AF17 YNW

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 71,534 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the full five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or neglected condition. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old car. The tester logged 50,468 miles on 17 July 2023, rising to 60,805 by 1 July 2024, then 68,387 on 6 June 2025, and 71,534 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps. The history is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 6 June 2025 that carried no defects and was immediately superseded by a pass the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given these components accumulate unseen wear between tests. The MOT record shows no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns, so no recurring fault pattern demands targeted investigation. Given the absence of advisories, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable replacement. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition match the clean documentary history before purchase.
