2022 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · AJ71 XOS

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA examination. The tester passed the car on 23 February 2026 at 18,799 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clean history across all completed tests with no advisories or recurring mechanical faults. The recorded mileage sits at 18,799 miles against a 2022 build, equating to roughly 4,700 miles per year. The car covered 4,240 miles between the 25 February 2025 test at 14,559 miles and the February 2026 tests, a modest annual rate for its age. The MOT data is sparse, with only three entries, and shows no rapid accumulation or standing-related gaps that would raise concern. A buyer should note the 23 February 2026 entry shows a failure at 18,797 miles immediately followed by a pass at 18,799 miles on the same day, with no defects listed on either. This pattern typically reflects an administrative or documentation reversal rather than a mechanical defect, but the buyer should confirm with the seller what triggered the initial failure log. Given the clean record with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the vehicle shows no evidence of deferred upkeep. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify tyre condition, wiper operation, and underbody structural integrity, as these items fall outside MOT fail thresholds at low mileage yet degrade with age.
