2019 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · GL68 LPJ

A pattern of rubber degradation and progressive brake wear defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, which passed its latest inspection on 2025-10-31. While the car has maintained a consistent pass rate, the volume of advisories has expanded over time, shifting from isolated tyre perishing in 2021 to a broader list of worn braking components across both axles in the most recent test. The recorded mileage of 30,125 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,304 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with the recurring MOT advisories regarding perished tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often experience rubber compounds cracking and degrading due to age and inactivity rather than through mechanical wear from road use. Immediate attention is required for the braking system and tyre condition. The 2025 record flags worn front and rear brake discs, alongside thinning front brake pads, which indicates that the friction materials are nearing the end of their service life. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or steering wheel vibration under braking, and listen for grinding or squealing noises that would suggest the pads have worn down to the backing plates. The nearside rear tyre has been a point of concern across multiple years, specifically cited for perishing and edge wear. A physical inspection should be conducted to check for sidewall cracking or uneven tread wear. Additionally, ensure the windscreen washer system is fully operational and delivering a consistent spray, following a previous failure recorded in 2022 for insufficient washer liquid.
