2023 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · DA23 VHB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 February 2026 at 11,969 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from February 2025, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have consistently operated within manufacturer specifications without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a three-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 3,096 miles and the February 2026 test at 11,969 miles, the car covered 8,873 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on consumable items like brake pads and suspension bushes, the significant intervals between uses can sometimes lead to fluid degradation or corrosion of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT record shows no historical mechanical faults or structural concerns, a physical inspection should focus on signs of low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and surface corrosion on the brake discs which often occur when a car is infrequently driven. Given the PureTech engine and automatic gearbox, verifying the service history is essential to ensure oil-based maintenance intervals have been followed, as the MOT only assesses safety-related components rather than engine health.
