2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SO65 AET

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 23, 2026, but the mechanical history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance. While the most recent test showed no defects, a significant failure just one day prior at 68,009 miles highlighted a backlog of neglected repairs, including worn front brake discs, anti-roll bar linkages, and excessive corrosion on the brake pipes. This pattern suggests the owner tends to address mechanical faults only when they cause an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 68,013 miles, the Citroen C1 has averaged approximately 6,183 miles per year, which is consistent with an eleven-year-old city car. The mileage accumulation is relatively steady, though there is a notable gap of over 3,000 miles between September 2023 and March 2024. The low annual mileage generally protects the drivetrain, but it has not prevented the degradation of rubber-based components and metal lines, as seen in the perished tyres and corrosion noted in the 2020 and 2026 tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. Recurring failures of the inner brake pipes across 2022, 2024, and 2026 indicate a persistent issue with corrosion that may require full replacement of the lines to prevent future leaks. The front anti-roll bar linkages were recently flagged as excessively worn, so the integrity of the entire front suspension bushings should be checked for play or perished rubber. Given the previous history of a supplementary restraint system lamp fault in 2024, the airbag system should also be verified to ensure the fault was properly rectified and not merely cleared.
