2021 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine + P-Tech S/S 1.2L Petrol · GU71 KVJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passed MOT test on 18 September 2025 at 27,747 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in preventative care, evidenced by the car failing just one day prior due to critical brake and tyre defects. While the most recent result indicates the immediate faults were rectified, the transition from a pass to a significant failure suggests that the previous owner neglected essential consumable maintenance until forced by the testing process. At 27,747 miles, this five-year-old vehicle reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,550 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests short urban trips or periods of inactivity. However, the 6,666-mile increase between September 2024 and September 2025 shows a slight uptick in usage over that year, though it remains well below the national average. Low mileage can sometimes lead to brake corrosion or uneven tyre wear from infrequent use, which aligns with the worn pads and discs noted in the failure report. A buyer must inspect the front braking system thoroughly, as the September 2025 failure flagged both nearside and offside front pads below the 1.5mm legal limit alongside worn discs. Since the discs were already noted as worn in the 2024 test at 21,081 miles, the components are likely nearing their service life. The nearside rear tyre also requires scrutiny for uneven edge wear and the structural cut, which may indicate an alignment issue or previous impact damage. Verify that the repairs performed after the 2025 failure were carried out with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
