2021 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · FP21 LUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on May 5 2026 at 112,219 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards following a failure in May 2025. While the latest test indicates a clean bill of health, the lack of advisories in the most recent record suggests the owner finally addressed the previous mechanical and consumable issues identified during the prior testing cycle. The mileage profile is significantly high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 22,000 miles per annum. Data shows rapid accumulation between the May 2024 test at 72,712 miles and the May 2025 test at 97,358 miles, covering 24,646 miles in a single year. This intensity suggests heavy motorway use, which typically places different stresses on the drivetrain and high-speed components compared to low-mileage city driving. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry despite the recent pass. The 2025 failure flagged play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and uneven wear on both front inner tyres, indicating potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings. Given the high mileage, it is vital to verify that the ball joints, tie ends, and shock absorbers have not reached the end of their service life, as these components undergo accelerated wear under high-usage conditions.
