2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · CY68 AHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 56,248 miles, it failed just days prior due to a critical tyre failure and recurring suspension and seat belt defects. The persistence of worn front suspension arm bushes and seat belt webbing damage across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 56,248 miles over eight years, the car averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a small city car. There is a notable gap in records between November 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered roughly 4,700 miles. However, the surge in mileage to 14,290 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026 indicates a more recent increase in usage, which likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn since at least early 2025. These components have not been replaced despite repeated advisories, which could lead to poor steering precision and uneven tyre wear. The failure in late 2023 for significantly worn brake discs and pads indicates the braking system was neglected until total failure; the buyer should verify the current thickness of the discs and check for signs of uneven glazing. Additionally, the frayed offside front seat belt remains a recurring safety concern that should be replaced to ensure the webbing functions correctly in an impact.
