2020 Citroen C3 Flair + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · SB69 TFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 79,043 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for an inoperative nearside rear position and registration plate lamp. While these electrical issues were rectified quickly, the previous history shows a pattern of only addressing mechanical safety items once they reach the point of failure during an MOT test. At 79,043 miles over six years, this Citroen C3 has covered an average of approximately 13,100 miles per year. The mileage data shows a significant acceleration in usage between June 2023 at 40,716 miles and July 2024 at 61,017 miles, representing over 20,000 miles driven in just thirteen months. This high rate of accumulation places considerable stress on consumable components, which aligns with the frequent failures recorded regarding brakes and tyres. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The July 2024 failure revealed both front brake pads worn to the wear indicators and front tyres below the legal limit, following a 2023 advisory for worn front brake discs and edge-wear on tyres. This suggests the owner neglected routine service intervals, which can lead to uneven thinning of discs or damage to the calipers. Given the high annual mileage, an inspection of the suspension bushes and the condition of shock absorbers is essential, as these components often degrade rapidly at this mileage threshold.
