2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · GV17 KWL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred attention regarding minor components and consumables. The most recent test in April 2026 at 30,480 miles flagged an inoperative offside registration plate lamp, a perished nearside rear tyre, and a pitted offside front brake disc. While the car passed, the recurrence of these issues across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they fail an inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 30,480 miles, this nine-year-old Citroen C3 has exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,387 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 2,000 miles between the May 2025 and April 2026 tests, and similar intervals previously. However, low mileage often correlates with the rubber degradation seen in this record. The repeated reports of perishing and cracking tyres indicate the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the sidewalls to dry out rather than wear down through mechanical use. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the recurring cracking and damage noted in 2023, 2025, and 2026 suggest the rubber is reaching its age limit despite sufficient tread depth. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the 2023 test recorded pitted discs on all four corners, and the 2026 test showed the offside front disc remains worn. This corrosion is typical in low-mileage vehicles where brakes are not used frequently enough to clear surface rust, but the discs should be checked for excessive thinning or deep ridges to ensure stopping performance.
