2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · L23 VYM

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 4 September 2025 at 51,820 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 46,130 miles, indicating that the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor consumable wear into a phase of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 5,182 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump between March 2019 and September 2020, where the mileage rose from 23,989 to 32,115 miles. Since 2020, the usage has remained consistent and relatively light, which typically reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage urban vehicles. Earlier records highlight typical wear patterns for a vehicle of this age. In October 2023 at 44,639 miles, the tester flagged thinning front brake pads, and the March 2019 test noted worn front brake discs. While these are standard consumable issues, they suggest that brake components have reached the end of their service life at various intervals. The 2020 test also identified both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit, which points to a period where basic tyre maintenance was overlooked. A prospective buyer should focus on the current state of the braking system and tyre tread, as these have been recurring points of interest in the past. Given the low annual mileage, it is worth inspecting the vehicle for signs of long-term stationary use, such as perished rubber components or seized calipers. While the recent clean MOTs are encouraging, a physical check of the suspension bushes and exhaust system is advisable to ensure no age-related corrosion has developed during periods of lower usage.
