Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for immediate tyre and exhaust work before committing. This 2017 Citroen C3 (CK67AEG) has a recurring exhaust leak and a history of tyre neglect that should be addressed as a condition of purchase.
Before buying CK67AEG, insist on evidence that the March 2026 MOT failure items were properly fixed — the VOSA record shows new front tyres and rear tyre replacement were needed, plus a central exhaust leak repair, and the pass the next day implies this was done. Negotiate at least £300-£500 off the asking price to cover fresh tyres all round and an exhaust flex/centre section inspection, as the minor gas leak has been noted at both the 2025 and 2026 tests. Request full service history for the 1.2 PureTech-era petrol C3; while no aggregate model data is available, the repeated tyre perishing on outer edges suggests alignment or suspension checks may also be overdue.
The 1.2-litre petrol C3 typically falls into a low VED band and benefits from good real-world fuel economy of around 50-55 mpg, keeping weekly fuel costs modest for a small hatchback. Insurance groups for this age and engine size are usually low (circa group 9-12), helping younger or budget-conscious buyers. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are around £900-£1,100, though the noted exhaust and tyre issues could add £200-£400 if not already resolved by the seller.
On this specific vehicle, closely inspect the central exhaust section for the minor gas leak recorded at both the 2025 (flex pipe) and 2026 (central) MOTs — a persisting leak may indicate a failing joint or corroded pipe needing replacement. Check all four tyres for even wear; the 2026 failure listed offside rear structural lump and nearside front cracking, with fronts worn on edges, so confirm the March 2026 rectifications used quality tyres and not part-worn items. Given the repeated 'worn on edge' front tyre notes in 2025 and 2026, have a garage check tracking, suspension bushes and wheel alignment, as edge wear at 43k-49k miles is atypical without an underlying fault.
The grey 2017 Citroen C3 with the 1.2-litre petrol engine shows 49,271 miles as of its most recent March 2026 MOT, which is modest for an eight-year-old car. Its MOT record includes a failure in March 2026 for four tyre and exhaust defects, though it passed the following day after rectification. The same minor exhaust leak and tyre wear patterns have appeared across multiple tests since 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance gaps rather than one-off faults.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Citroen C3, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of CK67AEG.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The timing belt runs in oil and can degrade, shedding debris that blocks the oil pickup. This leads to oil starvation, vacuum pump failure, and a dangerous loss of braking assistance (Recall R/2020/331).
- AdBlue Tank and Pump FailureSerious
The AdBlue system on BlueHDi diesels is prone to pump failure, often requiring a full tank replacement.
- Exhaust Back Box DetachmentModerate
The exhaust back box support rod or joint can corrode prematurely, causing the muffler to hang low or detach entirely.
