2022 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · GY71 OBW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on January 2 2026 at 55,040 miles. This test passed with no defects or advisories recorded, reflecting a consistent maintenance standard compared to the previous inspection in January 2025 at 42,944 miles. The absence of recorded failures across both consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been operated without significant mechanical or structural neglect during this period. The mileage accumulation indicates a high rate of use for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,760 miles per annum. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the car covered 12,096 miles in a single year. This consistent usage pattern suggests regular operation, likely motorway driving, which typically results in less clutch wear compared to short-city trips but places higher demand on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. While the MOT history shows no immediate faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue, as these often degrade after 50,000 miles. Additionally, the brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or thinness to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to overheating or binding calipers. Given the PureTech engine, the service history should be cross-referenced with the mileage to ensure the timing belt intervals have been followed, as the MOT record does not assess internal engine health. The clean structural record suggests the chassis remains free of corrosion, but a standard check of the undercarriage remains necessary for any vehicle of this age.
