2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · YC68 TNO

The 2025‑12‑08 MOT at 87,680 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The series of tests shows a stable maintenance trend, as the 2023 failure for a non‑functional offside stop lamp was corrected before the subsequent 2024 and 2025 examinations. Mileage has risen from 32,457 miles in December 2021 to 87,680 miles in December 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 10,960 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. No large gaps appear in the record; the only irregularity is the dual test on 13 December 2023, where the initial failure was remedied and the car passed the retest on the same day, indicating consistent driving patterns rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Recurring observations include thin front brake pads, pitted or scored front discs, and persistent inner‑edge distortion of rear tyres, suggesting that previous owners have not replaced worn consumables promptly. The 2022 and 2023 tyre wear reports point to edge‑wear patterns that may indicate mis‑alignment or suspension component wear, such as bushes or coil springs, that merit close inspection. Binding rear brakes and any signs of structural rust on the chassis or suspension mounting points should also be examined. A buyer should therefore verify brake pad thickness, disc condition, tyre tread depth and wear pattern, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for play or corrosion, and confirm that the stop lamp functions correctly, as these items have repeatedly surfaced in the MOT history. The recent clean test demonstrates that any prior faults have been rectified, but the documented wear trends imply that proactive replacement of brakes, tyres and suspension components is advisable to maintain long‑term reliability.
