2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · AX18 DFO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 3 June 2025 at 35,680 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just one mile prior on the same day. This initial failure suggests a minor adjustment issue or a sensor related fault that was immediately rectified, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record across multiple annual tests without any advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,460 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 29,051 miles and the June 2025 test at 35,680 miles, the car covered only 6,629 miles over three years. This consistent low usage typically indicates that mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals should be minimal. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake components that are not always captured during stationary inspections. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check for flat spots on the tyres or perished wiper blades if the car has spent long periods sitting between uses. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Since the record shows no history of structural corrosion or suspension failure, the primary integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the available DVSA data.
