2018 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · GY18 BYF

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-09 recorded a pass with a noted oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)), described as “not excessive.” This aligns with earlier entries, indicating a persistent but non-critical issue. The vehicle has 45,739 miles, matching its age of approximately 8 years, with an average of 5,717 miles per year—lower than typical for this age, suggesting either light use or extended periods of inactivity. Recurring issues include tyre wear and damage , particularly on the front and rear tyres. Since 2025, both front tyres have shown cracking, perishing, or uneven tread (5.2.3 (d) (ii) and (e)), with one front tyre nearing the legal limit. The brake system has also been a consistent concern: brake pads fell below 1.5 mm in 2025 (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), and brake discs showed wear in 2023 and 2024. These issues were addressed by 2026, as the latest MOT did not mention brake faults. The trend shows stability in oil leaks and tyre conditions, with no significant worsening. However, brake components required intervention between 2025 and 2026, indicating potential for future repairs. The low mileage may reduce wear on high-mileage components but could exacerbate issues like tyre perishing or brake component corrosion due to infrequent use. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the oil leak source (e.g., seals, gaskets) and tyre condition , focusing on tread depth and sidewall damage.
