2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · CA72 FVR

A clean roadworthiness profile defines this vehicle, characterized by a lack of structural or mechanical defects across its recorded history. The most recent inspection on 21 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, following a brief failure for a non-functioning offside dipped beam headlamp which was rectified during the same testing session. Aside from this single lighting-related failure, the MOT record shows a stable trend of compliance, with the previous test on 14 June 2025 also returning no recorded defects. The vehicle exhibits a low annual mileage accumulation of approximately 5,596 miles over its four-year lifespan. With a total recorded distance of 22,383 miles, the usage pattern is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this lower mileage suggests reduced wear on high-friction components such as brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as less frequent stress on the suspension bushes and dampers. However, the relatively low usage means the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy, consistent thermal cycling often seen in high-mileage motorway vehicles, which can sometimes lead to different wear patterns in engine components or exhaust systems. Given the absence of recorded advisories for corrosion, fluid leaks, or suspension wear, the inspection focus should remain on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted from extended periods of inactivity. During a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the engine idle and the responsiveness of the PureTech engine to ensure no issues arise from long periods of standing. Check that the braking system feels consistent without any pedal judder or pulling to one side, which would indicate uneven wear or binding calipers despite the low mileage. The single recorded failure regarding the offside headlamp indicates that electrical components or bulb assemblies have required attention. While this was resolved to achieve the pass on 21 May 2026, it is prudent to verify that all exterior lighting, including indicators and high beams, functions correctly without flickering. Listen for any unusual knocks or rattles from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience premature bushing stiffness or seal issues if they have been stationary for significant durations between services.
