2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · BC19 AHX

The most recent MOT test on 3 June 2025 confirms the Citroën C3 remains roadworthy at 52,772 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. Over the past five annual tests—spanning from May 2022 to June 2025—the vehicle has consistently passed without fail, suggesting a stable maintenance history. The absence of recurring faults or advisories in the most recent cycles implies that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, and structural integrity have not been compromised. However, the duplicate entry for June 2022—one pass, one fail—indicates either an administrative error or a brief oversight in test scheduling, though neither suggests mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 52,772 miles over seven years equates to approximately 7,500 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in test intervals, as each MOT was conducted within the required 12-month window, and no abrupt spikes in mileage are evident between tests. The steady progression from 39,182 miles in June 2022 to 52,772 miles in June 2025 aligns with reasonable usage patterns, though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any extended periods of disuse that could affect components like fuel lines, battery health, or tyre degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer’s primary focus should be on suspension components , particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this model. The lack of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration, so inspect for uneven tyre wear, excessive play in steering, or clunking noises over bumps. Brake condition should also be scrutinised, as binding calipers or uneven disc thickness can develop without MOT detection. Examine the exhaust system for rust or leaks, especially around flanges, and check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration in UK climates. Finally, verify that fluid levels —brake, power steering, and coolant—have been maintained, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs but critical for long-term reliability.
