2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CF15 LTA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 12 January 2026 at 50,525 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of concern in previous years. While the 2025 test identified several structural and consumable issues, the subsequent clean sheet indicates that these specific faults were likely addressed or rectified by the owner. At 50,525 miles over 11 years, the car reflects exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2022 (44,806 miles) and September 2023 (49,772 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 5,000 miles. However, the low-frequency use often correlates with the specific issues noted in the history, such as rubber-based components deteriorating from age and exposure rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must pay close attention to the structural integrity flagged in January 2025. The tester noted corrosion on the front lower sub-frame and both front Macpherson struts. Although these were deemed not seriously weakened at the time, corrosion on low-mileage vehicles is a progressive issue. A physical inspection is required to ensure that surface rust on these components has not transitioned into structural thinning, which would pose a future failure risk. The history also highlights a recurring pattern of tyre perishing and uneven wear, noted in 2023 and 2025. This is typical of cars that sit for long periods, causing the tyre compound to dry out. The prospective buyer should inspect the current tyres for sidewall cracking and check the alignment of the front suspension. Given the clean 2026 result, it appears the tyres were replaced recently, but the underlying tendency for these components to age poorly remains a point of interest for this specific vehicle.
