2018 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · TM08 MOL

The 2018 Citroen C3 Aircross holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 13 June 2026 at 60,470 miles, passing with multiple minor advisories. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a pattern of deferred minor work rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test flagged perishing on both the nearside rear and offside front tyres, worn front brake discs, and worn suspension bushes on all four corners. None of these defects are critical, yet their simultaneous presence suggests the car has been run down to advisory thresholds without timely replacement of ageing rubber components. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. It covered 3,596 miles between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests, and 3,799 miles between the September 2023 and June 2024 tests, averaging roughly 7,500 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would indicate long-term standing or odometer anomalies. The record is complete and continuous, with no missed annual tests. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and steering geometry. Worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides, combined with slightly worn rear axle bushes, points to general deterioration of the underbushes rather than a single impact event. These components affect tyre wear and steering precision, so uneven inner tyre wear should be checked on the nearside front, which was flagged close to the legal limit in September 2023. The front brake discs were noted as worn in June 2026, and the inner front pads were wearing thin in September 2023, indicating the braking system has been operating near minimum tolerances for some time. A thorough inspection of disc thickness and pad material is advisable. The offside front CV boot was recorded as severely deteriorated in June 2025, yet no defect was carried forward into the June 2026 test, implying it was replaced. That is a positive intervention, but the corroded offside rear coil spring flagged in September 2023 was not re-tested in subsequent years, so its current condition remains unknown. Given the general corrosion advisory on the spring and the perishing tyres in the latest test, a buyer should inspect the underside for rust progression, particularly around rear suspension mounting points and subframe seams, and verify whether the corroded spring was ever replaced.
