2020 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · AO20 FZF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglected consumables despite the low mileage. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 16,222 miles passed, the tester identified several developing issues that were absent in the previous year. The appearance of thin nearside rear brake pads and a non-repairable nail in the rear tyre suggests that the owner is only addressing faults during the MOT inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 5,447 miles and June 2024 at 10,991 miles, the car covered only 5,544 miles. This low usage explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain components, but the recurring reports of perishing rubber and cracking tyres in 2023 and 2025 indicate the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, accelerating material. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a history of heavy cracking and perishing across multiple axles despite low tread depth. The 2025 report also flagged lipped front brake discs, which indicates the hardware is nearing the end of its service life regardless of the low mileage. You should check for surface corrosion on the brake rotors and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers and accelerated rust that the MOT does not always catch until it becomes a failure.
