2018 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · RH62 BAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to minor reactive maintenance requirements. In the February 2026 test at 81,247 miles, the car passed despite two advisories regarding a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot and a perished offside rear tyre. These issues represent a departure from the period of perfect scores seen between 2022 and 2025, where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. The usage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 34,188 miles in June 2022 to 81,247 miles by early 2026. The jump of nearly 20,000 miles recorded between the June 2024 and February 2026 tests indicates regular annual use. This consistent mileage generally suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent some internal corrosion issues associated with stagnant fluids and rubber components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside front CV boot to ensure that grease has not escaped onto the joint itself, as a failed boot leads rapidly to expensive driveshaft replacement. The perished offside rear tyre also requires checking for sidewall cracking, as this indicates the rubber is reaching its age limit regardless of tread depth. Since the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, the focus should remain on checking the suspension bushes and brake components for signs of wear that often emerge at this mileage bracket, despite them not being explicitly flagged in the latest MOT results.
