2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · MW68 AAJ

This Citroen C3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 April 2025 at 28,291 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is unconventional and requires scrutiny. The vehicle recorded 34,321 miles during the 13 July 2022 test, but subsequent entries show a significant drop in recorded mileage. By 22 May 2023, the odometer read 25,020 miles, and it remained at 28,291 miles as of April 2025. This discrepancy of nearly 9,000 miles between 2022 and 2023 suggests either a recording error by the tester or a potential odometer irregularity. Despite the clean MOT history, the low annual usage and the mileage anomaly suggest the car may have spent long periods stationary. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as inactivity often leads to seized components. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing due to age rather than tread wear. Given the lack of reported suspension or structural issues, the primary focus should remain on the fluid conditions and battery health. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degraded oil and coolant due to infrequent cycling. Verify the service history to ensure the engine has had regular oil changes regardless of the low mileage recorded.
