2021 Citroen C1 Shine 1.0L Petrol · DN07 EVA

The most recent MOT test on 8 January 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend regarding consumables appears to be worsening. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the tester flagged an advisory for an offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a previous advisory in the 15 October 2024 test concerning a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the inner edge. The recurrence of tyre wear issues suggests a potential ongoing alignment problem or irregular wear patterns that have not been rectified between tests. The vehicle has covered 57,823 miles since its manufacture in 2021, averaging approximately 11,565 miles per year. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided cover a period from late 2024 to early 2026, showing a relatively recent testing history, though the data does not account for the full lifespan of the vehicle from 2021. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension components. The 15 October 2024 test recorded advisories for both nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes being worn. Although these were not noted as causing excessive movement at that time, the subsequent tyre wear advisory in January 2026 may indicate that these suspension components are contributing to uneven tyre degradation. It is necessary to check for play in the suspension bushes and verify the current condition of the front tyres and wheel alignment to ensure no further structural or mechanical deterioration has occurred.
