2021 Citroen C3 Sense Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LC71 JVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical concern. The most recent MOT conducted on 22 September 2025 at 14,957 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the issues identified in the previous year were addressed, and the vehicle has returned to a standard of compliance with safety and emissions testing requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 14,850 miles and the September 2025 test at 14,957 miles, the car covered only 107 miles. While low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such infrequent use can lead to flat-spotting tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer must pay close attention to the front brake assembly during physical inspection. The failure in October 2024 revealed that the offside front brake disc was excessively lipped and worn, while the nearside side showed early signs of wear. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that both discs and pads were replaced simultaneously rather than just the failing side, to ensure balanced braking performance. Additionally, the 2024 failure noted that undertrays obstructed the view of testable components; while a plastic undercover tray was fitted in December 2024, an inspector should ensure these covers are not concealing any structural corrosion or fluid leaks from the undercarriage.
