2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · FV16 ODN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a trend of deteriorating rubber components due to low usage. The MOT test conducted in June 2026 at 27,209 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding perished tyres across all corners and worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While the car passed, the accumulation of these faults suggests that the vehicle's rubber parts are reaching the end of their functional life through age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between July 2019 and February 2021 where the car covered only 1,127 miles. Since 2021, the usage has remained consistent, adding roughly 2,000 miles per year. This low-intensity usage pattern explains the clean state of the mechanical components but also accounts for the dry rot and cracking often seen when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the condition of all four tyres, as the record consistently notes cracking and perishing from 2023 through 2026. The front anti-roll bar linkages now require attention to prevent future failure or excessive knocking noises. Additionally, an in-person inspection should verify that the exhaust silencer and mountings were properly addressed following the 2023 failure, as low-mileage cars often suffer from accelerated corrosion on exhaust systems that do not reach high operating temperatures to dry off moisture.
