2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · M7 GOG

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 32,695 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the latest test is clean, the historical data reveals a pattern of component wear that required attention between the mid-life stage and current testing intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 17,022 miles in December 2021 to 32,695 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage typically suggests less mechanical strain on the engine and suspension components, though it often invites issues related to rubber-perishing and surface corrosion if the car sits for long periods between trips. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system during a physical inspection. The December 2023 test at 25,639 miles flagged both front brake discs for pitting and scoring, which evolved into an advisory for worn discs by the 2024 test at 28,813 miles. While the 2025 test passed without issue, the buyer must verify that the discs and pads were replaced and are not showing signs of uneven wear or heat damage. The 2024 record also highlighted specific issues with the nearside rear tyre, including cracking, a nail, and wear near the legal limit. Given the low mileage, these faults are likely due to age rather than distance. An inspector should check all sidewalls for dry rot and ensure that the suspension bushes and seals have not perished, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from structural degradation of rubber components over time.
