2021 Citroen C1 Airscape Shine 1.0L Petrol · AF71 FRR

The C1 Aircape Shine presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean MOT pass on 29 November 2025 at 46,666 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the preceding test, where the tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin on both sides and an offside front tyre worn close to legal limits. The absence of any new advisories or failures in the most recent test indicates the previous owner addressed these items promptly, suggesting attentive rather than reactive maintenance in the final year of recorded history. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 9,333 miles per year, which is entirely typical for a five-year-old city car. The 2,390-mile increment between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests confirms consistent, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or excessive annual mileage. No gaps or anomalies appear in the record, and the annual testing pattern on or around the same date each year points to a methodical approach to compliance. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should still inspect the front brake discs for scoring or lipping, as the thin pad advisory from November 2024 implies the braking system was under increased demand prior to repair. Check the offside front tyre sidewall and inner edge for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues not flagged at the last test. Given the vehicle's age and urban use, examine the underside for corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and exhaust hangers, along with the condition of rear brake components, which remain untested in recent records but are prone to seizure on lightly used small cars.
