2018 Citroen C3 1.2L Petrol · YX67 UAC

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT test on 23 May 2026 at 19,362 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening, transitioning from minor wear advisories in previous years to critical mechanical failures in present. The tester identified the front brake disc as seriously weakened, a major safety concern, alongside an insecure front exhaust system. This recent failure indicates a neglect to address long-standing issues that had been flagged across the previous three tests. At 19,362 miles over eight years, the car has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,420 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear, the record reveals this vehicle has suffered from periods of inactivity. Between February 2022 at 12,033 miles and April 2023 at 12,922 miles, the car covered barely 900 miles. The recurring reports of perishing and cracking tyres are classic symptoms of a vehicle sitting for long periods, causing the rubber to degrade despite the lack of tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system and suspension assembly. The history shows a persistent pattern of worn and pitted brake discs dating back to 2023, which finally resulted in a structural failure in 2026. Furthermore, the suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages were flagged as worn in 2025, suggesting the rubber components have perished from age rather than use. The exhaust system has also been a known defect since 2024, indicating that the mounts have likely failed and require immediate replacement to secure the system.
