2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · GY18 GSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 83,955 miles. While the car initially failed on that date due to an inoperative offside registration plate lamp, the defect was rectified immediately to allow a clean pass. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical-related failures or structural defects over the last three years of testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 12,790 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by another 10,960 miles between June 2024 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber-related components associated with stagnation. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the June 2024 test at 72,995 miles flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. Although this did not cause a failure, it indicates the components were nearing the end of their effective life. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the rotors to ensure further pitting. Additionally, while the nail in the offside rear tyre was noted in 2024, all tyres should be checked for uneven wear patterns or recent damage that might indicate alignment issues or suspension bushing wear.
