2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · RF51 NOT

The 2017 Citroen C3 presents a stable and unremarkable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 37,918 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT regime. Mileage progression shows consistently low annual use for a nine-year-old car. The record opens at 20,292 miles on 29 April 2022 and climbs to 37,918 miles by November 2025, an average of roughly 4,200 miles per year. The largest single jump occurred between April and November 2023, rising from 24,505 to 28,053 miles, yet even this reflects light running. No test gaps exceed seven months, and the sparse but clean entries suggest the keeper maintained statutory testing without neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the flawless MOT trail. Low mileage combined with the 2022 to 2023 standing period raises the prospect of perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, door seals, and brake hose degradation not visible to the tester. Drivetrain fluids and the timing belt interval remain outside MOT scope and warrant verification against Citroen schedules. Corrosion on structural members and subframes should be checked beneath the sills and suspension mounts, as surface rust can develop on vehicles left idle. Brake disc condition and caliper freedom also merit a road test, given the limited mileage may have allowed pad deposition or seizing through disuse rather than wear.
