2021 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine + Ptch S/S A 1.2L Petrol · HJ21 DFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2026 MOT at 26,323 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the prior 2025 and 2024 tests also passed without issues, despite a failed test on 2025-03-13 at the same mileage. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the record. The mileage of 26,323 miles over five years equates to approximately 5,265 miles annually, which is below average for the model’s age. This low usage may indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can affect components like the battery, fluid systems, and engine longevity. The gap between the 2024 test (15,765 miles) and 2025 test (20,872 miles) shows a 5,107-mile increase over 12 months, suggesting gradual usage but no sudden wear patterns. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, reflecting a clean record but offering limited insight into potential hidden issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as low mileage can sometimes mask wear in these areas. The braking system, including disc condition and caliper function, should also be checked, as inactivity may lead to corrosion or sticking components. Visual checks for rust or body corrosion, especially around the chassis and underbody, are advisable given the vehicle’s age and mileage profile. No specific advisories from the MOT record necessitate immediate concern, but proactive maintenance is recommended to address potential long-term effects of reduced usage.
