2021 Citroen C3 Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LE21 DVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 11 June 2025 at 28,105 miles. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical defects identified in the previous year were addressed immediately. The transition from a failure to a clear pass within a month suggests the previous owner is willing to rectify safety-critical faults once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered only 2,938 miles, suggesting infrequent use during this period. While low mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent usage pattern can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes or the onset of corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for too long between journeys. A prospective buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system to ensure the repairs remain effective. The June 2024 failure at 25,167 miles highlighted significantly worn front brake discs and thin pads, alongside an unevenly worn front outer tyre. While these were clearly replaced, an inspector should check for any remaining judder or sticking calipers that might have caused the initial edge wear on the tyre. Additionally, given the low annual mileage, the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking or hardening, which often occurs on older rubber despite sufficient tread depth.
