2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · SO19 PYV

The 2019 Citroen C3’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 at 58,088 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the vehicle’s history reveals recurring failures in 2024 and 2023, including a failed test on 2024-05-23 at 52,345 miles and two tests on 2023-05-26—one failed and one passed at identical mileage. While the latest assessment is positive, the pattern of repeated failures without recorded defects suggests potential unresolved issues, such as intermittent electrical faults or minor alignment problems, which may require further investigation. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,088 miles over seven years equates to approximately 8,298 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical usage. The MOT records show a one-year gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by a 12-month interval to the 2025 assessment. Notably, the 2023 tests occurred on the same date and mileage, raising questions about procedural consistency or repeated minor faults. The absence of defect details in failed tests limits analysis, but the frequency of failures implies potential maintenance oversights or systemic weaknesses in components like suspension or braking systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate failure. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, particularly given the repeated MOT anomalies. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage could emerge despite the lack of recorded defects. While the latest test confirms compliance, the historical pattern underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify latent issues not captured in the MOT records.
