2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · AY18 UON

This Citroën C3 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across all four MOT tests, with no defects or advisories recorded between April 2022 and May 2025. The most recent test on 9 May 2025—just 14 months ago—confirms the vehicle passed without issue at 93,773 miles, suggesting it has been kept in stable condition over this period. The absence of recurring faults or advisories implies that major systems such as suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions have not required intervention during these intervals. However, the lack of any recorded defects does not preclude wear that may not have been testable at the time, such as internal suspension deterioration or subtle corrosion. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 11,700 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in usage; the intervals between tests—around 12 months each—align with the MOT cycle without evidence of prolonged neglect or rapid wear. The recorded mileage at each test (54,446 in 2022, 69,107 in 2023, 80,363 in 2024, and 93,773 in 2025) follows a predictable linear trend, indicating consistent use rather than periods of inactivity or heavy duty. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not always testable during an MOT. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to gradual degradation that may not manifest as a defect. The brake system should be scrutinised for uneven wear on discs or pads, binding calipers, or corrosion on the brake lines, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as the absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee they have been maintained beyond the legal minimum. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often develop issues over time.
