Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a modern, low-mileage compact SUV. The clean MOT record and relatively low mileage suggest a vehicle that has seen limited use since its 2021 registration.

When inspecting this specific 2021 model, verify that the full service history is present to complement the clean MOT record. Since the vehicle is a 'Shine+' trim, check that all premium electronic features and driver assistance systems are functioning as intended, as these can be complex to repair.

Because the mileage is quite low for a five-year-old vehicle, ensure that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to neglected oil changes. Check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation even if wear is minimal.

The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger SUVs. Fuel economy should be competitive for a compact crossover, particularly for mixed driving.

Maintenance costs for this Citroen model are generally aligned with standard petrol small-displacement engines, though specialist parts for the Shine+ trim may carry a slight premium. Expect typical annual running costs to be moderate, influenced largely by your personal insurance profile and annual mileage.

Based on the MOT history, there are no specific mechanical defects to address, but you should perform a thorough check of the exterior grey paintwork for any stone chips or scratches common to SUVs.

Inspect the electronic components and infotainment system, which are central to the Shine+ specification. Additionally, check the condition of the stop/start (S/S) system to ensure the 1.2L engine transitions smoothly, as this is a key feature of this specific petrol variant.

Registered in April 2021, this grey Citroen C3 Aircross Shine+ is a recent model with 12,818 miles recorded at its last MOT in April 2025. The vehicle has a clean MOT history with no defects recorded during its most recent inspection. Given its age and mileage, it represents a relatively fresh example of the 1.2L petrol variant.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Citroen C3 Aircross Shine+ PTCH S/S A to provide a statistical trend.
