2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LC11 AVV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 56,929 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal depth limit. This mirrors a recurring issue seen in November 2023 where the car initially failed due to the same tyre condition, suggesting the owner only addresses essential consumables when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 48,151 miles and the 2024 test at 54,881 miles, the car covered 6,730 miles. While this low usage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such intervals often lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and brake hoses, which may dry out or crack due to lack of frequent operation. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as the repeated advisories for uneven tyre wear on the edges point to potential alignment issues or worn control arms. The repeated failure regarding headlamp aim in both 2023 and 2024 suggests the mounting brackets may be loose or the adjustment was not properly secured. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion and sills rot is essential, as low-mileage cars can suffer from hidden rust if they spend long periods stationary in damp environments.
