2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · BT18 NHD

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a generally stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in April 2026 at 54,262 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as worn. While these did not trigger a failure, they indicate the components are approaching the end of their functional life and will require replacement shortly to maintain effective stopping performance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression between annual tests, moving from 38,348 miles in April 2023 to 43,575 miles in April 2024, and reaching 48,428 miles by 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme long-distance strain, which typically preserves the drivetrain and internal suspension components compared to high-mileage city runabouts. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front braking system during a physical evaluation, as the recorded wear on the discs in the latest MOT suggests that the pads may also be thinning. The failure in April 2024 due to a side-repeater and a nail in the tyre indicates a lapse in basic pre-test inspections, so a thorough check of all four tyres for uneven wear or previous damage is necessary. Given the lack of structural or corrosion advisories in the history, the primary mechanical concerns remain limited to standard consumable items rather than deep mechanical failures.
