2021 Citroen C3 Shine Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · AU71 YFJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 17 June 2026 at 26 345 miles, recording only a nearside front tyre slightly damaged/perishing under clause 5.2.3(d)(ii). The test history shows a stable maintenance trend: the 9 July 2025 inspection at 17 609 miles and the 9 September 2024 test at 14 470 miles both returned no defects, indicating consistent basic upkeep. The single advisory now is a consumable issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the overall roadworthiness remains acceptable. Mileage accumulation for a 2021 model is low at roughly 5 269 miles per year, suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity. Between September 2024 and July 2025 the odometer rose 3 139 miles over nine months, then jumped 8 736 miles in the ten months leading to June 2026. This recent surge may reflect increased utilisation, but the total remains well below typical annual averages for the cohort. The sparse defect record reinforces that major wear items have not been stressed. A prospective buyer should inspect the nearside front tyre for cracks and tread depth, examine suspension bushes and mounting points for corrosion, and assess brake disc condition and caliper operation for binding or uneven wear. Given the vehicle’s age, a visual check for structural rust around sills and wheel arches is prudent. The low mileage implies reduced strain on drivetrain and exhaust components, yet a thorough walk‑around will confirm that the recent tyre damage has not compromised handling or safety.
