2020 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · FH69 TBO

The Citroen C3 Aircross presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 21,446 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The October 2022 failure at 1,932 miles recorded no specific defects, which suggests an administrative or unlogged issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation on this six-year-old vehicle is exceptionally low at 21,446 total miles, averaging roughly 3,574 miles per year. The records show a sharp jump from 2,025 miles at the 6 September 2023 test to 12,160 miles by 30 August 2024, then another 9,286 miles to the 2025 test. Prior to 2023 the car stood almost unused, with only 1,941 miles logged in February 2023 and 1,932 in October 2022. Such low early mileage followed by moderate use implies long stationary periods that can degrade seals, tyres, and brake components through lack of movement. The clean MOT history gives no flagged recurring faults across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of brake calipers for binding after the vehicle's standing periods. Verify the actual reason for the 2022 failure with DVSA, as the record shows no defects despite the fail outcome. Given the low mileage and advisory-free tests, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current once regular use began in 2023. The absence of worn tyres or wiper blades in the records does not remove the need for a pre-purchase check of consumables that may have aged rather than worn through distance.
