2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine + Ptch S/S A 1.2L Petrol · FE22 ADX

The most recent MOT test on 22 April 2025 confirmed this Citroën C3 Aircross as fully roadworthy at 27,445 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any failures or warnings in the single available test suggests a stable maintenance history up to that point, though the data is too limited to assess long-term reliability trends. The vehicle has not yet reached the typical MOT renewal interval of three years, meaning no prior tests exist to compare wear patterns or recurring issues. Buyers should note that the lack of historical data means potential problems—such as suspension wear, brake fade, or corrosion—could have developed undetected between the vehicle’s first registration and the 2025 test. The recorded mileage of 27,445 miles over approximately four years (assuming registration in early 2022) equates to around 6,861 miles annually, which is within the expected range for a vehicle of this age and usage class. There are no gaps or spikes in mileage to suggest prolonged neglect or aggressive driving, though the sparse MOT history prevents deeper analysis. Without earlier tests, it is impossible to determine whether earlier owners maintained the vehicle diligently or deferred routine services. The current mileage remains low enough that major components like timing belts, differential fluids, or major suspension bushes have likely not yet reached their typical replacement intervals. Given the single clean MOT pass, an in-person inspection should prioritise components that commonly fail before 30,000 miles, such as tyre tread depth (especially if the vehicle has seen varied conditions), brake pad wear (noting any uneven wear that could indicate alignment or caliper issues), and suspension integrity (checking for cracked bushes or corroded mountings). The absence of advisories does not rule out hidden corrosion in wheel arches, underbody, or wheel housings—areas where salt and moisture accelerate deterioration. Buyers should also verify that all fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) have been topped up recently, as neglected systems can lead to sudden failures. Given the vehicle’s age, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to confirm the absence of latent issues.
