Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/s (2022)
2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/s
CarHunch analysed 1,771 real MOT records for the 2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This C3 Aircross is a genuinely reliable choice: its 92.4% first-time pass rate sits well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.8% of the fleet. The petrol engine shows no significant weakness, with only 0.08 average failures per vehicle pointing to solid build quality across the board.
At just under 20,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains the low failure count. The 0.8 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear is beginning to show (trim, seals, suspension components), so when shopping, ask the seller for full service history and budget for preventative maintenance rather than expecting trouble-free ownership.
What to check before buying a 2022 Citroen C3 Aircross Shine Puretech S/s
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
