2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · ML17 KBJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the five years. The most recent test in June 2025 at 43,475 miles resulted in a pass with only a deteriorated front exhaust bracket noted. This minor wear item does not indicate a broader mechanical or structural failure, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed basic maintenance requirements without allowing the vehicle to develop significant safety defects. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. There is a discrepancy in the recorded data between June 2024 and June 2025, where the mileage shows a drop from 47,427 miles to 43,475 miles, likely representing a clerical error during the previous DVSA filing. Despite this anomaly, the overall low usage implies minimal wear on the drivetrain and braking components. The vehicle likely sat for extended periods, potentially leaving components like suspension bushes and rubber seals prone to dry rot or perish rather than mechanical friction wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front exhaust system to ensure the deterioration of the bracket has not led to further corrosion or damage to the manifold. Given the offside rear tyre nail noted in October 2023, a thorough check of all four tyres is necessary to ensure no other patches or uneven wear patterns exist. The low mileage also warrants a close look at brake discs for surface rust and seized calipers, as infrequently used cars often suffer from internal corrosion that high-mileage vehicles avoid.
