2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · SN19 HSW

This Citroën C3 presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 16,262 miles showing no defects or advisories. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate across all five recorded tests, with the earliest valid entry dating back to 2 May 2022 at 5,200 miles , and no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The absence of even minor advisories—such as worn tyres, leaking fluids, or suspension wear—suggests either meticulous maintenance or, more likely, very light usage. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, such a flawless history is unusual and raises questions about whether the car has been stored for extended periods rather than driven regularly. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging just 2,323 miles per year , with a notable 1,743-mile gap between the 2022 December test (6,943 miles) and the 2023 June test (6,988 miles) —a period of over six months with minimal movement. This pattern continues through to the latest test, where only 5,427 miles were added over 12 months (May 2024 to May 2025). Such minimal usage reduces wear on critical components like brakes, suspension bushes, and engine internals, but it also means consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads may have been underutilised. The lack of mileage progression could indicate the car was either a low-mileage daily driver or sat unused for significant stretches. Given the complete absence of MOT advisories or defects, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, paying particular attention to components that are prone to long-term degradation even with low mileage. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of drying or cracking, as these can deteriorate over time regardless of usage. Check the brake system —including calipers, discs, and pads—for corrosion or binding, especially if the car has been stored in damp conditions. Inspect the underbody and wheel arches for surface rust, as low-mileage vehicles are still susceptible to structural corrosion if not garaged properly. Finally, verify the tyre condition , even if tread depth appears adequate, as tyres can perish from age-related degradation rather than wear alone. The battery and electrical systems should also be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to sulfation or failure.
