2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · CE68 CKJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in February 2026 at 41,271 miles identified wear on both nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes alongside a perished nearside tyre. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate that rubber components are beginning to reach the end of their service life despite the relatively low overall mileage. At eight years old with only 41,271 miles recorded, this Citroen C3 has averaged approximately 5,160 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average for a petrol car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 14,137 miles covered between November 2023 and February 2026. However, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often correlates with the cracking and perishing seen on the tyre sidewalls noted in the 2026 inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to ensure the worn arm bushes have not developed excessive play that would affect steering precision or cause uneven tyre wear. The oil leak flagged in September 2024 requires a close look at the engine bay to determine if it is a minor seep or a failing gasket requiring attention. Given the low-mileage nature of the car, also check the age of all tyres for dry rot or cracking, as rubber compounds degrade over time even when the car is rarely driven.
