2023 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · BL72 PFG

The Citroen C3 passed its most recent MOT on 24 January 2026 at 36,473 miles with no defects recorded, placing the vehicle in a stable roadworthiness condition. A clean test sheet at three years of age indicates the first mandatory test was cleared without advisories or failures, so no worsening or recurring fault trend is present in the official record. The odometer shows 36,473 miles against a 2023 build, equating to roughly 12,158 miles per year. That is above typical private-use averages for this age band and implies steady motorway or commuter mileage rather than long standing periods. The DVSA history contains only the single 2026 entry, so no earlier tests exist to chart accumulation rates or gaps; the sparse data limits deeper wear-pattern analysis. Given the absence of flagged items, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Check brake disc thickness, suspension bush condition, and tyre tread depth across all corners despite the clean pass. Verify the PureTech wet belt for contamination or tension, as this engine variant carries known belt-in-oil degradation risks unrelated to MOT scope. Structural corrosion and underbody integrity remain unseen by the pass result. A visual check of sills, subframes, and exhaust mounts is prudent before purchase. The record shows responsible statutory compliance, but single-test histories never substitute for a physical mechanical appraisal.
