2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · NG22 NRL

The vehicle maintains a valid roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on June 26 2025. While the car passed the inspection, the record reveals a concerning trend regarding the braking system components. The tester identified pitted and scored surfaces across all four brake discs. Although these did not meet the threshold for failure, the uniform condition across both axles suggests a pattern of environmental corrosion rather than a localized mechanical fault. At 18,791 miles over four years, this C3 has averaged approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low annual mileage is significantly below the national average and indicates the vehicle has seen light use or remained stationary for extended periods. Such low mileage often correlates with the surface pitting noted on the brake discs, as infrequent use allows moisture to cause surface rust on the iron rotors, which is not regularly cleared by friction friction. A buyer must inspect the braking system in person to determine if the pitting has progressed into structural thinning or glazing. Since all discs were flagged simultaneously, it is vital to check for uneven pad wear and ensure the calipers are not scoring the rotors further. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also include checking for flat-spotting on tyres or rubber degradation, which are common in vehicles that sit idle for long intervals between uses.
