2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · EL07 BAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, as confirmed by the most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 67 201 miles, which recorded no defects. The trend over the last few years is one of improvement: a failure on 26 June 2024 (tyre tread, headlamp, brake pad thickness) was rectified before the retest on 27 June 2024, and subsequent annual tests have passed without issue. This pattern suggests that previous owners have addressed the mechanical problems promptly and the car’s overall condition is stable. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle’s age. From 10 927 miles in January 2018 to 67 201 miles in June 2026, the car has averaged roughly 6 100 miles per year. Notable spikes include the 13 757 miles gained between 22 September 2023 and 27 June 2024, but this remains within the expected range for a lightly used vehicle. There are no extended periods without testing, and the gaps between MOTs are the standard 12 months, except for the brief 2‑day interval in June 2024, which reflects a quick correction of the faults flagged. A prospective buyer should focus on the components that have repeatedly surfaced in the MOT record. Braking performance warrants a close look: the car has experienced thin brake pads, imbalance across an axle, and binding rear brakes in the past. Inspect the brake discs, calipers, and pads for wear and verify that the hydraulic system is leak‑free. Tyre tread depth is another critical point; the 2024 failure highlighted a front tyre below 1.6 mm, so check all four tyres for adequate depth and even wear. Headlamps and dipped‑beam functionality should be tested, as a non‑working near‑side headlamp was recorded in 2024. The wiper assembly, which failed to clear the windscreen in 2020, should be examined for blade integrity and motor operation. Wheel rims should be inspected for the slight damage noted in January 2019, and the suspension bushes should be checked for cracking or excessive play. Finally, a visual scan for corrosion on the chassis and body panels is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. In summary, the car’s recent MOT history indicates a stable, road‑worthy condition, with all major defects resolved. A thorough inspection of brakes, tyres, lighting, wipers, wheels, and suspension will confirm that the vehicle remains reliable for continued use.
