2021 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · AR70 AXU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward wear-related defects. In the most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 25,136 miles, the car passed despite an advisory for worn front enough discs and a slightly deteriorated offside front CV boot. This follows a similar advisory from the March 2025 test, indicating that components are reaching the end of their service life despite low usage. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns from 17,779 miles in March 2024 to 21,418 miles in 2025, and finally 25,136 miles in 2026. While this low mileage reduces strain on the drivetrain and engine, it often contributes to the perishing of rubber-based components. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front CV boot to ensure the deterioration has not progressed to a tear, which would lead to joint failure and leakage. The front several discs have been flagged in both 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting they should be replaced soon to maintain braking efficiency. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding cracking or perishing tyres highlights that the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, necessitating a thorough check of sidewall integrity irrespective of tread depth.
