2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · GY18 PJO

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 23,321 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination since July 2023 without suspension, brake, exhaust, or corrosion issues, indicating consistent compliance rather than a worsening condition. Recorded mileage stays low for an eight-year-old car. The July 2023 test logged 12,330 miles; by July 2024 the odometer read 15,554, then 17,825 at the February 2025 tests, reaching 23,321 by February 2026. That averages near 2,900 miles per year. The clean record across all dates points to light use, though the failed test on 20 February 2025 at 17,825 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, corrected the next day with a pass at identical mileage. A buyer should still verify in person what static records cannot show. Low annual mileage and the 2024 to 2026 jump of nearly 8,000 miles mean tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes may have aged through standing rather than worn through use. Damp storage can hide early structural corrosion not yet at test-threshold levels. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on coil springs, calipers, or emissions, the mechanical history implies a careful prior owner. Inspect underneath for surface rust and confirm the brake calipers are free, as prolonged low use can seize components without triggering an MOT defect.
