2019 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2L Petrol · VK69 UEV

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident in this vehicle's recent history, characterized by a lack of recorded defects in the two most recent inspections on 08 December 2025 and 06 December 2024. While a single advisory was noted in December 2023 regarding the nearside rear brake disc being pitted and scored on the outer face, the subsequent clean results indicate that this specific component issue was addressed or has not progressed into a functional failure. The overall trend shows a stable mechanical profile with no recurring structural or emissions failures recorded over the last four years of testing. The recorded mileage of 27,064 miles against a seven-year age profile represents a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 3,866 miles. This level of usage is significantly below the UK national average, which typically suggests the vehicle has been used for short-distance or infrequent trips rather than high-speed motorway commuting. Mechanically, such low mileage often means less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages, but it can also mean components like brake discs and tyres are subject to more frequent environmental exposure and less frequent thermal cycling, which can contribute to the surface pitting observed in the 2023 advisory. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system during a test drive to ensure the previously noted nearside rear brake disc issue has been fully resolved. Listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises coming from the rear of the vehicle when moving at low speeds and check for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal when applying pressure at moderate speeds. Any uneven pulling to one side during braking could indicate a binding caliper or an unevenly worn disc that was not fully rectified following the 2023 advisory. Beyond the braking system, the low annual mileage warrants a visual inspection of rubber components such as suspension bushes and drive shaft boots, which can sometimes perish or crack due to age and lack of movement rather than wear. During the test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which would indicate wear in the suspension or steering geometry. Given the absence of recent defects, the focus should remain on verifying that the low-usage profile has not resulted in any age-related degradation of flexible components.
