2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · LP65 ADZ

The 2015 Citroen C1 remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 58,998 miles, but the maintenance trend has worsened from a clean advisory-free run to several noted defects. Prior to that test the vehicle cleared every annual examination from December 2021 through December 2024 with no faults beyond windscreen chips logged in December 2023. The sudden appearance of worn front brake discs, an oil leak and edge tyre wear at the latest check signals deferred consumable attention rather than any structural failure. Recorded mileage shows a consistent low-use pattern across the five tests. The odometer stood at 39,713 miles in December 2021, rose to 45,228 by December 2022, 50,891 by December 2023, 55,392 by December 2024 and 58,998 by December 2025. Yearly gains averaged between 3,600 and 5,600 miles, with the final twelve months adding only 3,606 miles, confirming very light running for an eleven-year-old car. Such low accumulation suggests limited daily use and possible prolonged standing, a condition that often correlates with the newly observed oil seepage. A buyer must inspect in person the front brake discs that the December 2025 test described as worn, pitted and scored on both nearside and offside. Measure disc thickness and check for scoring depth before purchase. The offside front inner tyre wore close to the legal limit on its edge, so examine wheel alignment and front suspension components despite no bush or coil spring advisories in the history. The oil leak termed not excessive requires tracing to cam cover or sump seals hardened through inactivity. Windscreen damage recorded last December followed chips in 2023, meaning prior owners tolerated minor glazing defects; verify no crack now impairs the driver's view. Previous keepers sustained uninterrupted MOT passes without failures, yet the lapse into multiple advisories at the final examination indicates basic upkeep like tyre rotation and brake servicing was neglected. The record shows no corrosion, structural integrity concerns or suspension bush failures, which is favourable for a small city car of this age.
