2020 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · GU20 HHJ

A pattern of emerging wear on braking components and minor electrical failures defines the recent mechanical profile of this Citroen C3 Aircross, following a period of clean records. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 26 May 2026, this followed a failure due to a non-functional offside front fog lamp. The latest test also introduced advisories regarding both the nearside and offside front brake discs being worn, marking a shift from the defect-free result recorded in June 2023. The vehicle has covered 33,973 miles over approximately six years, representing an annual average of roughly 5,662 miles. This is a relatively low mileage accumulation for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage typically implies less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages, it can also mean the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which may affect the condition of rubber seals and various consumables. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front braking system during a test drive. Given the advisories for worn front brake discs on both sides, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at varying speeds, which can indicate disc thickness issues or uneven wear. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding a distorted nearside front inner road wheel suggests a history of impact or heavy use on that corner; you should monitor the steering for any pulling to one side or unusual vibrations through the steering wheel at motorway speeds. The history also notes a previous advisory for a nail and a cut in the offside rear tyre tread. Although this was recorded in June 2024, it is prudent to inspect the current condition of all tyres for uneven wear patterns or sidewall damage. The failure of the offside front fog lamp in May 2026, though rectified for the pass, indicates that minor electrical components are beginning to require attention, so a full check of all exterior lighting and indicators is recommended.
