2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FH15 AHZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 39,918 miles. While the car has encountered various minor issues over the last several years, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that previous maintenance interventions have been effective. The trend shows a transition from multiple consumable and minor mechanical advisories in 2020 to a clean record in the most recent cycle. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,629 miles per year. The records show consistent, incremental growth, such as the 3,055-mile increase between October 2024 and September 2025. This pattern indicates light, regular usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps mitigate certain types of age-related deterioration. However, the low annual mileage means components like tyres and brakes may age due to time rather than distance. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and structural integrity. The tester flagged imbalanced rear brakes in October 2024 at 38,253 miles, following a similar issue in October 2020. This recurrence suggests the rear braking components may require closer inspection for sticking calipers or uneven pad wear. Additionally, the November 2023 advisory regarding corrosion on the front subframe mounting area warrants a physical check to ensure the oxidation remains superficial and has not progressed toward a structural failure. Tyre condition has also been a recurring theme, with various advisories for perishing, cracking, or edge wear between 2020 and 2023. Although the 2025 test recorded no defects, the history of sidewall cracking suggests the vehicle may have sat for periods or used tyres with older manufacture dates. A thorough inspection of the current tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity is advised to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
