2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · BK19 AOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on March 3 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in the braking system. While the car passed its most recent inspection without defects, it failed just one mile prior at 43,638 miles due to front brake discs that were seriously weakened on both sides. This indicates that the previous owner neglected brake components until they reached a critical point of failure, rather than following a preventative replacement schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between February 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 16,296 miles, maintaining a steady usage profile. The jump from 39,149 miles in 2025 to 43,639 miles in 2026 shows a normal annual accumulation, which suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than stored, potentially preventing premature corrosion on brake components if the car sits too long. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking assembly to ensure the discs replaced after the March 2026 failure were fitted to high quality standards. Given that the tester flagged worn discs in March 2025 and dangerously weakened discs in March 2026, the calipers should be checked for signs of glazing or uneven wear that might indicate sticking pistons. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the MOT record does not highlight these areas, but they are common points of wear on this model as it ages.
