2022 Citroen C3 Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LG22 USH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend following a period of rectification. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 March 2026 at 33,298 miles passed with no new defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were successfully addressed, bringing the car back to a compliant standard of operational safety. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a modern vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 test at 24,929 miles and the March 2026 test at 33,298 miles, the car covered 8,369 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular driving cycles rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent the deterioration often seen in low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain components based on historical failures. The failure in March 2025 revealed that both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn to the legal limit and showed uneven edge wear, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the offside front inner drive shaft constant velocity boot was split and leaking grease; while this was repaired to pass the test, a physical check for any remaining grease buildup or rubber cracking is advisable to ensure the replacement was thorough.
