2022 Citroen C3 C-Series Edition Ptech SS A 1.2L Petrol · VU72 XOB

The most recent MOT test on 14 November 2025 confirmed this Citroën C3 remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has passed without mechanical or structural concerns during its most recent inspection. However, the gap of nearly nine months since the last test—nearing the maximum permissible period—means the current roadworthiness status is not guaranteed beyond that date. Buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any interim servicing or repairs, particularly for components prone to wear such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and tyre condition, as these are not covered by the MOT. The recorded mileage of 18,944 miles on a vehicle that entered service in 2022 indicates unusually light usage, averaging just 4,736 miles annually. While this suggests minimal wear on high-mileage components like drivetrain or engine internals, it also raises questions about potential long-term storage risks, such as battery degradation, tyre degradation from static loading, or suspension corrosion from exposure. The lack of intermediate MOT tests—particularly none between 2023 and 2025—means there is no historical data to confirm whether earlier tests were passed without failings or advisories. Buyers should treat this as a red flag for incomplete maintenance records, as critical issues could have been overlooked or repaired privately without official documentation. Given the sparse MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be suspension integrity , including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of dry rot or excessive play. The brakes—especially rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as the MOT’s silence does not preclude hidden corrosion or misalignment. Tyre tread and lateral wear patterns must be examined closely, as failing twice on tread (if this were part of earlier tests) would imply neglect; here, buyers should verify the current tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and that there is no irregular wear suggesting alignment or suspension issues. Structural underbody corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be inspected, as prolonged low-mileage periods can accelerate rust progression in exposed areas.
