Our Verdict
This 2021 Citroën C3 Aircross is a solid option for those seeking a modern compact SUV. Given the clean MOT history across the last three years, it presents a lower-than-average risk for immediate mechanical failures.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L PureTech model, verify that the service history matches the mileage, particularly regarding the timing belt, which is a known maintenance item for this engine family. Since the MOT history shows no defects, you should focus your physical inspection on the interior condition of the 'Shine' trim and any signs of wear on the upholstery.
Negotiate based on the current mileage of 62,634; while it hasn't triggered MOT failures, it is approaching common service intervals. Ensure you check the tread depth on all tyres and the condition of the brake pads, as these are standard wear items that the MOT record does not explicitly detail.
The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this vehicle in a moderate insurance group and a reasonable tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a compact SUV of this size, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Annual running costs will primarily consist of fuel, insurance, and scheduled maintenance. Given the mileage, you should budget for standard service items such as oil changes and filter replacements. Estimated annual costs are influenced by the vehicle's age and the specific insurance group assigned to the NL21ADZ registration.
Focus your inspection on the 1.2 PureTech engine components. While the MOT history for NL21ADZ is clean with no defects recorded between 2024 and 2026, it is prudent to check for any signs of oil leaks or unusual engine noise.
Additionally, inspect the exterior Blue paintwork for any chips or scratches and check the functionality of all electronic features associated with the Shine trim level. Since the most recent MOT in March 2026 showed no defects, the vehicle's basic safety components like lights, wipers, and suspension appear to have been within legal limits during the last test.
This Blue Citroën C3 Aircross Shine PureTech was first registered in March 2021 and has covered 62,634 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record with no recorded defects or failures in its MOT history since 2024. While the mileage is moderate for a five-year-old vehicle, the lack of recorded MOT issues is a positive indicator for a used buyer.
