2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · DC18 DXR

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 48,969 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,100 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 24,310 miles in July 2022, 29,930 by May 2023, 30,219 by September 2023, 39,839 by August 2024, and 48,969 by August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Every test passed with zero advisories, so the DVSA data gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored mechanical faults. A clean MOT sheet across five consecutive years suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Low annual use means suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have seen limited cyclic loading, reducing but not removing the risk of age-related perishing or seizing from standing. A buyer should still confirm in person that no corrosion has started on structural members or subframes, as the tester records no advisories only at test date and cannot capture later winter road-salt exposure. Check brake disc condition and tyre sidewall cracking for evidence of prolonged storage, and verify the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the light running cycle.
