2022 Citroen C3 Aircross C-Series Ptech S/S 1.2L Petrol · GSZ 2068

The 1.2 L petrol engine typically delivers around 50‑55 mpg (combined), which keeps fuel costs modest for a vehicle of this size. As a Euro 6 vehicle, road tax falls into the lower band (often £0‑£150 per year depending on CO₂ emissions).

Insurance groups for the C3 Aircross generally sit in the mid‑range (Group 15‑20), leading to average premiums for a 2022 model. Routine maintenance on a Citroën of this age is expected to be in line with standard UK figures, roughly £300‑£400 per year for servicing and minor parts.

Taking fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance together, an estimated annual running cost would be in the region of £800‑£1,000, assuming typical mileage and no major repairs.

Although the MOT in July 2026 recorded no defects, a thorough visual inspection should still cover the usual wear points: check the condition of the tyre tread, brake pads and discs, and look for any signs of uneven tyre wear that could indicate suspension issues.

Inspect the PTech hybrid‑assist components, particularly the battery housing and wiring, for any corrosion or loose connections. Ensure that the electronic displays and driver‑assist features function correctly, as these systems are not always fully tested during a basic MOT.

Finally, examine the interior for wear on seats and controls, and verify that the service light is not illuminated on the dashboard. Any warning lights could point to issues that were not captured in the MOT record.
