2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · ME65 AAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025 with an advisory on the front anti-roll bar linkage. The maintenance trend shows a slight decline from the clean records of 2021 and 2022 as minor mechanical wear has emerged. While the faults are not critical, they indicate that suspension components are beginning to require attention before they progress toward failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a consistent pattern of low-distance use, moving from 32,366 miles in July 2023 to 44,968 miles by mid-2025. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and tyres through age rather than distance-based friction. An in-person inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly, specifically the anti-roll bar bushes and linkages previously noted as worn. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres, as the 2024 test highlighted uneven wear and perishing on the offside rear. Additionally, checking the exhaust mounting system is advisable to ensure the previous defect noted in 2023 was rectified properly and is not causing further vibration or instability.
