2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · SA17 LGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 85,628 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the test within a few days of presentation but passed shortly thereafter. This suggests the owner reacts quickly to specific compliance requirements, such as bulbs, wipers, or minor adjustments, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 69,720 miles and the March 2025 test at 77,152 miles, the car covered 7,432 miles, while another 8,476 miles were clocked in the final year leading to the March 2026 test. This steady usage pattern is typical for a commuter car and generally results in even wear on components like brake pads, suspension bushes, and tyre components. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural defects or mechanical failures, the buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Citroen C3 wear points. Focus on the condition of the front suspension arms and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often degrade at this mileage. Given the consistent use, check the brake discs for excessive thinning or uneven wear and inspect the exhaust system for early signs of structural corrosion. The lack of recorded advisories in the history suggests the vehicle has been kept relatively clean, but a manual check of the undercarriage and fluid levels remains necessary to confirm no hidden issues have developed between tests.
