2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Ptch S/S A 1.2L Petrol · LD22 XPS

This Citroen C3 Aircross demonstrates a strong track record of roadworthiness, characterized by a clean inspection history and a recent clear pass on 26 January 2026. While a previous test in April 2025 flagged slight scoring and wear across all four brake discs, the absence of any defects or advisories in the most recent evaluation suggests the vehicle is currently in a stable mechanical condition with no outstanding safety concerns. The recorded mileage of 18,566 miles is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,642 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage examples. This usage profile indicates that the mechanical components have been subjected to significantly less stress than average, though it often correlates with shorter urban journeys. The previous advisory regarding scored brake discs necessitates a close inspection of the braking hardware. A visual check of the disc surfaces should be performed to confirm if the scoring has been resolved or if the surfaces remain uneven. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsations under moderate braking, as these are primary symptoms of the disc wear previously flagged in the DVSA records. Beyond the braking system, the low mileage suggests that suspension components and steering linkages should remain in excellent condition. A test drive should focus on identifying any unexpected knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would be atypical for a vehicle with under 20,000 miles. Ensuring the steering remains precise and free from pull will confirm that the low usage has not resulted in any dormant mechanical degradation.
