2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · KT17 XGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 30 December 2025 at 57,572 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive care. While the most recent test is clean, the history reveals a cycle of failing to address safety-critical items, suggesting that the previous owner only rectified faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than replacing them during routine servicing. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 57,572 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,400 miles. This low mileage is consistent with light-use urban driving patterns. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 1,500 miles covered between June 2025 and December 2025. This steady progression suggests the mechanical components have not been subjected to extreme stress, though age-related degradation remains. A buyer must pay close attention to the tyres and suspension components, as the record highlights recurring issues in these areas. In June 2024 all four tyres were flagged for cracking and wear, and by June 2025 the nearside rear was specifically noted as perished. The vehicle failed again in late December 2025 due to front tyres dipping below the legal 1.0mm limit indicates a persistent failure to monitor tyre depth until they reached a dangerous state. Additionally, the rough offside rear wheel bearing reported in June 2024 requires a physical inspection to ensure the part was actually replaced and has not developed new play. The inspection should also verify the condition of the wiper blades, which failed in 2024 for not clearing the glass effectively. Given the history of perished and cracked rubber, a thorough check of the sidewalls on all remaining tyres is essential to ensure they are not nearing structural failure. While no structural corrosion or brake binding issues have been flagged, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests that items are only replaced at the absolute end of their functional life.
