2022 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · CK72 KWB

This Citroën C3 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in the most recent test conducted on 2025-07-18, just under a year ago. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks without compromise, though the limited data prevents deeper insight into long-term wear patterns. The most recent test confirms compliance with current UK roadworthiness standards, but the brief window between tests makes it difficult to assess whether underlying issues might emerge over time. The recorded mileage of 5,143 miles at the time of the 2025-07-18 test indicates exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 1,286 miles per year. Such minimal mileage could imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which may contribute to degraded battery health, stiff suspension joints, or dry-rotted rubber components like seals and hoses. Without intermediate mileage readings, it is impossible to determine whether the vehicle was stored or driven sporadically, but the lack of wear-related MOT failures does not necessarily mean all consumables are in pristine condition. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested. The suspension bushes and coil springs, while not MOT-tested, may have deteriorated due to lack of use, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The PureTech engine’s oil and filter should be checked for degradation, as low mileage does not guarantee fresh lubrication. Tyre condition, despite not being flagged in the MOT, warrants scrutiny—especially the tread depth and lateral wear patterns, as the absence of MOT failures does not confirm they have been recently replaced. Finally, the battery should be tested for capacity, as prolonged inactivity can lead to sulphation, and the exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion or leaks, which are not always visible without a closer examination.
