2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · KV69 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 33,014 miles resulted in a pass only after an initial failure for a non-functional headlamp, thin front brake pads, and pitted front discs. While these faults were rectified, the recurring nature of the braking issues across multiple years suggests the previous owner only addressed components once they reached the point of legal failure. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 33,014 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low usage profile is consistent with the intervals between tests, such as the 4,030 miles driven between the November 2024 and 2025 inspections. However, low mileage often leads to accelerated corrosion on metal components and brake seizure due to infrequent use, which aligns with the pitting and scoring observed on the front discs noted by the tester despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front braking system, as the record shows persistent issues with pads and discs in both 2024 and 2025. The presence of a major exhaust flexi leak in 2024, which followed a minor leak in 2023, indicates the exhaust system is degrading over time. It is also necessary to check the condition of the offside rear tyre for uneven wear, as the 2023 advisory regarding edge wear suggests potential underlying alignment issues that may not have been fully resolved in subsequent tests.
