2017 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · YR17 BLZ

The 2017 Citroen C3 presents a stable and largely clean maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 24 April 2026 at 64,417 miles resulting in a pass. The only defect recorded in that test was a minor advisory for rear tyre condition, specifically slight damage, cracking, or perishing on both sides. This is a consumable item and not indicative of underlying mechanical neglect. The vehicle has passed every recorded MOT, with only one other minor advisory in the entire history, a defective offside repeater lens noted in March 2023 at 37,527 miles, which had no effect on emitted light. The record suggests a pattern of consistent, if basic, upkeep rather than any recurring or worsening mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,157 miles per year. The intervals between tests show steady use: 43,188 miles in February 2024, 56,581 miles in March 2025, 63,842 miles in October 2025, and 64,417 miles in April 2026. The gap between October 2025 and April 2026 shows only 575 miles covered in six months, which may indicate a period of lighter use or the vehicle standing. There are no alarming jumps or gaps in the record that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged neglect. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the rear tyres, given the advisory raised in April 2026. Check the sidewalls closely for cracking, perishing, or embedded damage, and verify tread depth and age markings. Beyond that, the clean MOT history means there are no recurring structural or mechanical red flags to prioritise. Still, a thorough inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components is sensible at this mileage, as these items commonly wear on a small hatchback of this age. The exhaust system and underside should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent periods standing with low recent mileage.
