CITROEN C32015 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle passed its last MOT in October 2023 at 37,544 miles, but this test is now over two and a half years old. The recorded history indicates a worsening maintenance trend, with recurring tyre damage and a prior critical brake pad failure. The most recent pass included an advisory for a perishing nearside rear tyre, a problem that has appeared repeatedly since 2022. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles annually. The recorded intervals show periods of minimal use, with nearly 8,000 miles added between January 2021 and November 2022, then only about 3,000 miles to the October 2023 test. This pattern suggests either very light consistent use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which can accelerate perishable component degradation like rubber seals and tyres. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The history flags binding rear brakes in 2022 and critically thin front pads in early 2021, suggesting potential caliper issues or neglected servicing. The repeated advisories for cracked or perishing rear tyres point to possible storage conditions, alignment faults, or simply age-related perishy. Examine all four tyres for sidewall damage and ensure the tread depth is well above the legal limit. Inspect the brake discs for excessive scoring or runout and check all suspension bushes for deterioration, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from component seizing. While structural corrosion is not noted in the record, a detailed underbody inspection is essential given the vehicle's age.
