2020 Citroen C3 Flair + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LC70 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a clean MOT record, suggesting a stable and well-cared-for status. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 19,850 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, confirming the car is currently in a roadworthy condition. While the initial failure on the same day at 19,849 miles appears anomalous, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass indicate no underlying mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation remains low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per annum. The progression from 9,359 miles in August 2023 to 19,850 miles by July 2025 shows consistent, light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern is generally favourable for the drivetrain, as it avoids the excessive wear associated with high-mileage fleet use while preventing the potential for seized components often found in cars that sit idle for years. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories or recurring failures, the primary focus during a physical inspection should shift to age-related degradation that standard testing might overlook. Check the condition of the tyres for signs of sidewall cracking caused by low-mileage exposure to sunlight and weather. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, as light use can lead to oxidation if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods. Verify the operation of the air conditioning and electronic systems, as these are common points of failure in low-mileage Citroen models that do not see daily operation.
