2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · MM68 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from consumable wear to emerging structural corrosion. The most recent test in August 2025 at 34,370 miles passed despite a noted corroded exhaust system. While the vehicle has maintained its passes, the introduction of rust in the latest inspection suggests the beginning of surface degradation that requires monitoring to prevent a future failure related to the structural integrity of the under exhaust system. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,910 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2024 and August 2024, where the car covered only 338 miles in seven months. However, usage increased significantly to 5,468 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This low-frequency usage often correlates with longer periods of standing, which aligns with the tyre perishing and sidewall damage noted during the January 2024 test. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system, as the tester flagged worn, pitted, or scored brake discs in three consecutive years from 2022 through 2024. While these were not severe enough to fail, the recurring nature suggests the owner replaces components only at the limit rather than performing proactive maintenance. Additionally, the cracking and perishing of the rear tyres noted in 2024 indicate the rubber is aging due to time rather than tread wear. A physical inspection should verify the depth of the exhaust corrosion identified in 2025 to ensure the thinning has not progressed beyond surface rust.
