2019 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · WV19 CPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on January 8 2026 at 36,580 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The car failed just one day prior to that most recent test due to a seriously weakened offside front brake disc and a non-functional dipped beam. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of component failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten the test certificate. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 36,580 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has not seen heavy motorway exposure, but it introduces risks related to rubber components. Between January 2023 at 18,026 miles and January 2024 at 24,278 miles, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles, yet it failed the test with multiple tyre issues, indicating that tyres were reaching their legal limits despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should closely inspect the front braking system, as the history shows a progression from pitted and scored discs in 2024 to a seriously weakened disc in early 2026. Rapid wear on the offside front component may indicate a sticking caliper or uneven pad distribution. Given the 2025 advisory for a perishing nearside rear outer tyre, a physical inspection must check for sidewall cracking across all tyres, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods suffer rubber rot. The headlamp assembly also requires verification to ensure the repair for the 2026 failure was permanent and aligned.
