2020 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · PF69 OWR

The 2020 Citroen C3 Aircross presents a stable mechanical condition overall, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 32,699 miles with only minor advisories. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a recurring pattern of brake and tyre wear has persisted across multiple tests. In the May 2026 test, the tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin and both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. These are consumable items, but the frequency of such advisories suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods standing or been driven in a manner that accelerates uneven tyre wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,450 miles per year. The record shows a gap of over eighteen months between the August 2022 test at 9,768 miles and the April 2024 test at 21,437 miles, during which the vehicle covered 11,669 miles. This indicates a period of increased use after potentially sitting idle. The subsequent interval from April 2024 to April 2025 saw a further 6,687 miles added, followed by a modest 4,575 miles over the twelve months to May 2026. The recent slowdown in accumulation could point to the vehicle being used less frequently or for shorter journeys, which often accelerates brake corrosion and tyre degradation due to lack of sustained running. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during any physical inspection. Front brake discs were flagged as worn but not excessively in both April 2024 and April 2025, while front brake pads have been noted as wearing thin in three of the last four tests. This recurring pattern implies the pads may have been replaced recently, yet the discs could now be approaching their minimum thickness. Rear brake discs were also flagged as worn in April 2025, suggesting the entire braking circuit deserves a thorough check for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion from standing. The tyre history raises further questions about alignment and suspension condition. Rear tyres have been flagged for cracking, perishing, and edge wear across multiple tests, while front tyres were noted as worn on the edge in April 2025. Edge wear on both axles often points to worn suspension bushes, incorrect tracking, or underinflation over prolonged periods. A buyer should inspect the inner sidewalls carefully and consider a four-wheel alignment check before committing to a purchase.
