2020 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · SL70 OFW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 41,533 miles passed without failure but introduced multiple advisories regarding the condition of the tyres. This follows a 2024 test where the front braking system was flagged for wear, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a gap of 11,139 miles between the June 2023 test at 15,944 miles and the June 2024 test at 27,083 miles, followed by another 14,450 miles in the final year. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to premature rubber component degradation and surface corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system and the tyres. The 2024 record noted thin pads and pitted discs, and while these may have been replaced, the 2025 advisory for perishing and cracking on both front tyres indicates that the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread depth. You must also check for sidewall damage and uneven tyre wear, as the low-mileage history often masks dry rot in suspension bushes and tyre seals.
