2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · KV15 BVC

This Citroën C1 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 26 March 2025 confirming no defects and a full pass. The absence of advisories or failures across all five recorded tests—including the latest—suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, compliant maintenance. However, the gap between the 2025 test and today (21 August 2026) exceeds the standard 12-month MOT interval, meaning the car has been in service for over a year without official inspection. While this does not inherently indicate mechanical failure, it does introduce uncertainty about whether minor issues have developed since the last pass. The recorded mileage of 114,884 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 10,444 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation in the data, though the absence of intermediate MOTs—particularly between 2021 and 2022—means there is no verification of maintenance between those dates. The steady accumulation suggests the car has been used consistently rather than stored, reducing the risk of severe neglect-related wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not always captured in a standard MOT. Focus on the suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this model and may not always trigger a fail unless severely degraded. The braking system—including rear caliper binding (a known issue in some C1 models) and front/rear brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion—should be thoroughly checked. Additionally, examine the subframe and wheel arches for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust progression over time. The exhaust system, especially at the rear, warrants inspection for leaks or damaged hangers, which could lead to driveability issues or emissions failures. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and lateral cuts, as the MOT history shows no recorded tyre-related failures, but wear patterns may indicate past neglect.
