2019 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · CA68 WBX

A flawless MOT history across five consecutive annual tests signals a sustained level of roadworthiness, with the latest pass recorded on 21 January 2026 confirming that no defects were identified at that inspection. The absence of recorded advisories or failures over the entire period suggests that the vehicle’s essential safety and emissions systems have consistently met the DVSA standards. The odometer reads 18 536 miles on a seven‑year‑old Citroën C3 Aircross, equating to roughly 2 650 miles per annum – well below the average for a vehicle of this age. Such low utilisation typically reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, but it can also mean the car has spent extended periods stationary, which may allow rubber seals, hoses and bushings to age regardless of mileage. The uninterrupted yearly testing schedule shows no gaps that would hide latent defects, yet age‑related deterioration should still be inspected. Although the MOT record shows no failures, a prudent pre‑purchase examination should verify the condition of suspension bushings and mounts, as ageing rubber can develop cracks or excessive play even on low‑mileage cars. On a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps, and feel for looseness in the steering column or wheel wobble at higher speeds, which would indicate worn bushings or compromised steering geometry. Brake performance warrants particular attention despite the clean MOT. Examine the disc surfaces for scoring and measure pad thickness; a thin pad or uneven disc wear can manifest as pulsation or a spongy pedal feel. Also, inspect the brake lines for any signs of external corrosion or fluid leakage, and verify that the handbrake holds the vehicle securely on an incline. A thorough visual check of the under‑body for rust, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, will help confirm that the low mileage has not concealed any structural corrosion that could affect long‑term reliability.
