2022 Citroen C3 Saint James Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · SM22 HHY

The MOT history supplied for this 2022 Citroen C3 contains a single recorded test, dated 6 June 2025, which resulted in a pass with no advisories or defects noted. Only one entry exists in the DVSA record, so no longitudinal trend can be established. A clean pass on a vehicle of this age with no recorded advisories suggests, on the face of it, that no wear items were flagged at the time of testing, though the absence of prior entries means there is no earlier data against which to compare component life or ownership care patterns. The vehicle is around four years old with a recorded mileage of 19,507 miles, equating to roughly 4,877 miles per year. This is a low annual figure for a petrol supermini of this vintage and could indicate limited daily use, a primarily urban role, or extended periods of standing. Such low mileage tends to reduce wear on friction components like brake discs and pads, but it can also accelerate corrosion on brake calipers, underbody metal, and exposed suspension components due to infrequent operation and possible exposure to damp conditions while parked. Given the sparse MOT data, a prospective buyer should not rely on the single clean pass as a comprehensive health check. A physical inspection should focus on the rear brake calipers for binding or seizing given the low mileage, the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, and the underbody and suspension components including coil springs, bushes, and subframe mounting points for any early corrosion. Tyre condition, including age-related sidewall cracking, should also be examined directly, as MOT records alone cannot confirm whether the consumables fitted at the time of test remain serviceable today.
