2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · CV67 YAE

The 2017 Citroen C3 presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 at 52,836 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the last five consecutive annual tests indicates a vehicle that has remained structurally and mechanically sound throughout its recent life. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed potential issues proactively rather than allowing minor faults to escalate into major failures. The recorded mileage of 52,836 miles over nine years equates to an average annual distance of roughly 5,871 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a steady, incremental accumulation of miles rather than erratic spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the November 2021 test at 29,229 miles and the November 2022 test at 36,587 miles, the car covered 7,358 miles, while the subsequent years saw a slight tapering of usage, dropping to 4,781 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This gradual reduction in annual mileage points toward lighter, local commuting rather than sustained long-distance touring. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a nine-year-old vehicle with low mileage. Extended periods of standing can cause perishable components to deteriorate, so a buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, alongside checking the brake discs for surface corrosion that often develops during short trips. The suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for age-related degradation rather than mileage-induced wear. While the tester flagged no structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, verifying the condition of the underbody and the operation of the calipers will confirm the vehicle has genuinely escaped the typical ravages of short-journey motoring.
