2022 Citroen C3 C-Series Edition P-Tech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LB72 FPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test on 15 June 2026 at 23,574 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just six months prior. While the vehicle meets the minimum legal requirements, the presence of perished and cracking rear tyres on a pass suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure during official inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,894 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between 30 December 2025 and 15 June 2026, where the car covered only 370 miles, yet the rear tyres deteriorated to failure during this five-month interval. This low mileage suggests the car was either stationary for long periods or used only for very short trips, which often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based components like tyres and brake hoses despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The tester flagged both front brake discs as worn in December 2025, and while they passed shortly after, the recurring mention of these components suggests potential thinning or corrosion from lack of use. The cracking in the rear tyres noted in 2026 is a clear sign of age-related dry rot rather than tread wear issues. You should also check for seized brake calipers or excessive corrosion on the suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently are prone to these specific mechanical faults.
