2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · DC18 GKP

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 25 July 2025 at 55,824 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the July 2024 records show a pass and a same-day failure, both at 51,182 miles with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. The vehicle has cleared every effective test since 2022 without advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or structure. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,978 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 38,807 miles in August 2022, 44,754 in July 2023, 51,182 in July 2024, and 55,824 by July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across all entries indicates the previous keeper kept up with consumables and avoided letting wear items reach test-fail thresholds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT history flags no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or binding calipers, but the test only captures road-test conditions on the day. Check underside structural integrity for early rust, measure brake disc thickness, and verify coil springs are free of fracture given the car's age. The same-day fail and pass in July 2024 with zero defects suggests a clerical error at the testing station, not deferred maintenance. Overall the evidence points to a lightly used, conscientiously maintained vehicle with no recurring fault pattern to date.
