2018 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · SJ58 MCK

This 2018 Citroen C3 Aircross presents a mostly clean history, but the most recent test from March 2026 reveals the first notable signs of wear. With a recorded mileage of 66,438 miles, the vehicle has covered roughly 8,300 miles per year, which is typical for its age and suggests consistent usage without obvious periods of neglect or standing idle. The recent pass certificate highlighted two specific issues: an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the outer edge and a defective central exhaust mounting. While the exhaust mounting is a relatively minor repair, the tyre wear pattern is a key risk indicator. Wear specifically on the outer edge often suggests incorrect wheel alignment or tracking issues rather than standard mileage wear, which can cause new tyres to deteriorate quickly if unresolved. Prior to this March entry, the vehicle passed MOTs in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with zero defects recorded. This indicates a long period of stability that is now showing early signs of ageing regarding consumables. The condition trend is shifting from clean to requiring immediate maintenance. When inspecting the car, prioritise checking the front tyres for tread depth and that specific outer-edge wear pattern. You should also listen for any exhaust rattling or knocking caused by the loose mounting.
