2019 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · KV19 MTY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of deferred consumable component replacement. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 37,906 miles noted an advisory for thin rear inner brake pads, this follows a pattern of reactive maintenance. In May 2025, the front brake discs and pads were all flagged for wear and pitting, suggesting that the owner waits until components reach the legal limit or near failure before addressing them rather than following scheduled preventative intervals. At 37,906 miles over seven years, the car has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the specific degradation issues seen in the record. In 2024 and 2025, the tester flagged tyres for cracking and perishing, which are common symptoms of vehicles that sit stationary for long periods or undergo short, low-distance trips. The consistent interval of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between tests indicates a stable but infrequent usage pattern. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. The recurring mentions of pitted brake discs and binding calipers indicate that the braking assembly is prone to corrosion due to low use. You must verify that the front discs and pads have actually been replaced since the 2025 advisory. Furthermore, given the history of perishing and cracking tyres, the sidewalls of all four tyres should be checked for deep structural fractures to ensure they have not become brittle despite having sufficient tread depth.
