2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · MW68 AAV

The 2018 Citroen C3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent November 2025 test at 32,361 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the eight-year period, suggesting the vehicle has been well-preserved. The absence of advisories or failures implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though low mileage may limit exposure to wear on components like brakes and suspension. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows steady annual increases, rising from 11,885 miles in 2021 to 32,361 in 2025, averaging approximately 4,045 miles per year. This pattern aligns with its age but remains below typical usage for a vehicle of this vintage. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests—7,000 miles—suggests regular but light usage, while the lack of rapid accumulation reduces wear on consumables. However, prolonged periods of inactivity could affect fluid systems, seals, and battery health, warranting closer inspection of these areas. A physical check should focus on suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may show uneven wear due to low mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to rust buildup. The exhaust system and body panels should also be examined for hidden rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture. While the MOT history is clean, the vehicle’s maintenance pattern does not confirm active use, so a hands-on evaluation is essential to verify mechanical integrity and identify any latent issues.
