2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · FL68 HKA

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 March 2026 at 52,446 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The March 2026 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared on the same date. No advisories or defects appear on any test from 2023 through 2026. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,556 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, a typical figure for the age. The records show light use between 2023 and 2024, with only 11,940 miles added across those twelve months, then a modest 3,793 miles to March 2025 and 3,304 miles to March 2026. The sparse, clean test history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals; the low yearly totals suggest gentle commuting rather than hard driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural corrosion were not flagged, but the tester may simply have found nothing requiring note at the low mileages recorded. Given the car stood relatively unused in later years, check for perished rubber components, binding calipers from disuse, and exhaust emissions integrity on a cold start. Previous keepers maintained the vehicle to a passable standard with no repeated failures on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. The same-day fail with no defects recorded points to administrative error, not deferred maintenance. On present evidence the C3 is a sound used purchase, though a pre-sale mechanical check remains prudent given the gaps in advisory data.
