2022 Citroen C3 C-Series Edition P-Tech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LC72 FWK

The Citroen C3 presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 at 19,782 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. With only a single recorded test in the history, there is no trend to track, but the current status is stable and unblemished. The mileage profile is notably low. At roughly 4,946 miles per year over four years, this is well below the UK average. The single recorded figure of 19,782 miles has not moved between the test date and today, suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary for an extended period. Prolonged standing can cause flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber seals, so a static mileage is not inherently better than steady use. A clean MOT record is reassuring, but it does not replace a physical inspection. The tester found no structural corrosion, suspension wear, or braking defects at the last test, yet the lack of historical data means there is no evidence of how the car was maintained before September 2025. A buyer should still inspect the tyre date codes and sidewalls for perishing, check the brake discs for lipping or uneven wear, and examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. The exhaust system and DPF function should also be verified on a short drive, particularly if the car has been sitting unused.
