2021 Citroen C3 Sense Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · YA03 JEN

The Citroen C3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 27,153 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered its fifth year in sound mechanical condition. Mileage remains low for a 2021 registration, accumulating only 5,937 miles between the 24 September 2024 test at 21,216 miles and the 2025 test. The annual average of roughly 5,431 miles suggests light use, though the DVSA record shows a failed entry on 24 September 2024 at 21,216 miles carrying no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage. Such a same-day fail with no recorded faults typically indicates an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, and no advisories or consumable wear items appear across either 2024 or 2025 tests. Given the clean history, no recurring faults, suspension wear, brake binding, or structural corrosion have been flagged by testers. The absence of advisories on tyres, brake discs, or exhaust emissions points to conscientious upkeep by previous keepers, with basic consumables evidently replaced before each annual examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage and the unexplained 2024 same-day fail warrant verification of the V5C logbook and a check of the odometer against service stamps. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and underbody for standing-water corrosion, as prolonged inactivity at low mileages can mask perished rubber components not caught in a static MOT bay.
