2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CA60 SNK

The July 22 2026 MOT at 115,970 miles passed, yet the tester flagged worn anti‑roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both front corners, corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, and perishing rear tyres. These minor defects do not render the vehicle unsafe, but they reveal a maintenance trend that is worsening rather than stable. Since the 2021 test, recurring brake pipe corrosion and suspension component deterioration have appeared each year, indicating a gradual decline in mechanical health. The mileage has risen from 38,897 miles in February 2016 to 115,970 miles in July 2026, a steady increase of roughly 7,700 miles per year, matching the vehicle’s 15‑year age. No long periods of inactivity are evident, as the interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests is only six days, confirming recent use. The data therefore reflect regular operation rather than extended standing. A buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes and anti‑roll bar links for excessive play, given the repeated wear notices. The rear brake pipes show chronic corrosion; close examination of the underbody and pipe mounts is essential to assess structural integrity. Binding rear service brakes recorded in 2024 and 2025 suggest the need to check caliper movement, pad condition, and brake fluid quality. Finally, the perishing tyre sidewalls and cracked tread indicate that tyre replacement may be overdue, and a physical tread depth measurement is required.
