2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · EX67 AEA

The Citroën C3 in question has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across all five annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the inspections. The most recent test, conducted on 17 February 2026 at 38,761 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. This pattern of uninterrupted passes suggests the car has been subjected to either diligent maintenance or benign operating conditions, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures that would indicate neglect or impending structural compromise. The recorded mileage of 38,761 miles over an eight-year span—approximately 4,845 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the C3’s typical usage patterns. The incremental mileage increases between tests (ranging from 5,372 to 5,614 miles per year) imply the car has likely spent extended periods either stored or used minimally. There are no abrupt spikes or gaps that would raise suspicion of odometer tampering or irregular service intervals, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means this cannot be confirmed. The steady accumulation aligns more with light commercial or occasional personal use rather than heavy daily driving. Given the absence of MOT advisories or defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to wear at this mileage and age. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in C3 models. Brake pads and discs, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, particularly around the rear suspension mounts and exhaust system, where rust can compromise structural integrity. Finally, the tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should be verified, as the lack of MOT warnings on tyres suggests either recent replacement or consistent underuse.
