2021 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine + Ptch S/S A 1.2L Petrol · EX71 NUK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 23,894 miles passed, it revealed an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a failure in September 2024 where the nearside front tyre had exposed cords. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses critical components once they reach a point of failure. At five years of age, the car has covered only 23,894 miles, averaging approximately 4,779 miles per year. This low mileage profile generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine compared to higher mileage examples. However, the 5,328 miles driven between the September 2024 and 2025 tests show a recent increase in usage. Low-mileage vehicles can also suffer from drying of rubber components or surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the uneven wear noted on the offside tyre often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking geometry. The recurring issues in the front braking system, specifically the failure for thin pads in 2024, necessitate a thorough check of the remaining pad life and the condition of the rotors for glazing or pitting. Given the history of tyre cords, verifying the current consistency across all four tyres is essential to ensure no underlying alignment issues remain.
