2021 Citroen C3 Shine Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · CF21 OTJ

The 2021 Citroen C3 Shine PureTech S/S Auto presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 7 March 2026 at 40,140 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or advisories across the three available tests, suggesting consistent basic upkeep by the previous keeper. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the March 2024 test at 34,165 miles and the March 2025 test at 36,856 miles, the car covered 2,691 miles. The following year, from March 2025 to March 2026, it added 3,284 miles, averaging roughly 8,000 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record, and the mileage progression aligns with the stated annual average, showing no signs of long-term standing or sudden high-mileage use. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The PureTech engine and EAT8 automatic transmission should be checked for smooth operation, particularly for any hesitation or rough idling common in small turbocharged units. The rear beam axle and suspension bushes on Citroen C3 models can wear prematurely, so listen for clunks over rough surfaces. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and examine the underside for any corrosion on the exhaust system or subframe, as these can develop even on well-maintained cars. Tyre condition and date codes should also be verified, as older rubber can degrade regardless of tread depth.
