2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · GC15 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT on 6 July 2026 at 44,913 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in July 2025 at 42,711 miles. While the vehicle experienced minor mechanical issues in previous years, the absence of advisories or failures in the last two testing cycles suggests that the owner is effectively addressing identified faults and maintaining the car to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,083 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in distance traveled between tests, such as the 2,276 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025. This consistent but low-intensity usage pattern reduces the typical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can sometimes lead to secondary issues like tyre perishing or battery degradation due to infrequent use. A buyer should focus on the suspension and exhaust systems during a physical inspection. The July 2024 test at 40,037 miles flagged a defective rear exhaust back box mounting and worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front. Although these issues do not appear in the 2025 or 2026 records, confirming that these specific components were replaced or repaired is prudent. The 2022 advisory regarding a perishing offside rear tyre also highlights the potential for age-related rubber degradation despite low mileage. The history also shows a past failure in July 2018 due to thin front brake pads, which was resolved during the same test period. While the most recent records are clean, verifying the current thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs remains a standard requirement. The 2021 failure regarding an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light also suggests that electrical or sensor-related maintenance was required at that time, so ensuring the dashboard warning lights function correctly is recommended.
