2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · WP68 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 78,033 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets minimum legal standards following minor setbacks. While the record shows failures in March 2026 and April 2025, the immediate re-tests and subsequent passes suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified defects rather than allowing mechanical or safety-related issues to persist or deteriorate. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,754 miles per annum. Between September 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 5,863 miles in just seven months, indicating a period of higher usage compared to its annual average. However, the interval from April 2025 to April 2026 saw only 3,168 miles, returning the vehicle to a more typical pattern. This steady usage profile suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to extreme stress over short periods, likely contributing to the clean MOT results. Despite the lack of specific recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of common Citroen C3 wear points. Given the age and typical mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often degrade before they trigger an MOT failure. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or binding calipers, especially since the vehicle failed twice recently without specific defects being listed. A final check of the chassis for surface corrosion around mounting points is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade of service.
