Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
The primary point for negotiation is the braking system. The MOT history shows that the front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in both 2025 and 2026, with pads wearing thin (4mm) by March 2026. You should factor the cost of a full front brake disc and pad replacement into your offer.
Beyond the brakes, verify the service history to ensure the 1.2L petrol engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals. Check that the orange paintwork is consistent and free from significant blemishes, as vibrant colours can sometimes show wear more prominently.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban commuting and short trips. Insurance groups for the C3 are typically low, and the vehicle falls into a reasonable tax bracket for its age and engine size.
Annual running costs, including fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be between £1,100 and £1,400. Note that the upcoming brake work will slightly increase the maintenance spend for the first year of ownership.
Prioritise an inspection of the front brakes. The MOT record explicitly mentions pitted and scored discs over the last two years and pads at 4mm in the most recent test; these should be replaced soon to ensure safety. Check for any uneven wear on the tyres that might suggest alignment issues.
Inspect the interior for wear consistent with 49,600 miles and ensure all electronic components, including the infotainment and air conditioning, are functioning correctly. Given the age of the vehicle, check the condition of the battery and the tyre dates.
This orange 2019 Citroen C3 has a consistent MOT history with five passes and zero failures recorded between 2022 and 2026. The vehicle has covered 49,600 miles as of its last test, indicating moderate usage. Recent records highlight a recurring issue with the front braking system that needs addressing.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability trend for the Citroen C3.
