2018 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · SM68 EKA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 300, indicating it is roadworthy, but this status is contingent upon a clear and consistent maintenance history. The most recent MOT test on 2026-05-22 at 35,266 miles was passed, which is the only test recorded since the initial 2026-05-21 failure, suggesting the issue has not persisted for more than one year. However, the presence of a failed test in 2024-06-19 at 22,759 miles indicates that the vehicle has undergone at least two separate MOT checks, which is a significant red flag for a car with only 8 years of age. This pattern of testing suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped between the 2024 and 2026 checks, as the car was not serviced before the 2024-06-19 failure. The mileage trend is characterized by rapid accumulation and a lack of data gaps. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 4,408 miles per year, which is low for an 8-year-old car but insufficient to justify a clean history. The data points show a steady increase in recorded miles without any clear intervals of rest or maintenance, reinforcing the idea that the owner may have driven the vehicle at a high speed or in poor conditions. The gap between the 2024-06-19 failure and the 2026-05-22 test is the only clear evidence of a lack of regular servicing, making the overall maintenance trend unstable rather than improving. In conclusion, the vehicle is not roadworthy due to a history of failed MOTs, which implies a lack of consistent maintenance. The 2026-05-22 test is the only one recorded, but the 2024-06-19 failure indicates a gap of more than a year in which the vehicle was not inspected. This gap suggests that the owner may have driven the car for extended periods without checking its condition, leading to structural risks such as worn brakes, binding calipers, or corrosion. The car should be inspected by a professional now to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components that were not checked during the 2024-06-19 test.
