2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · RF15 RRO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 7 January 2026 at 44 771 miles, but the tester recorded four advisories: front brake pads wearing thin, nearside rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking, offside rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking, and a defective front windscreen wiper blade. The combination of consumable wear on braking and tyre condition indicates a maintenance trend that is stable at best and showing a slight deterioration in the past year. No structural or major mechanical faults were flagged, so the car remains roadworthy within the limits of those advisories. Mileage progression aligns with a low‑use profile for an 11‑year‑old model. Between August 2022 (31 606 mi) and January 2025 (41 377 mi) the car accumulated roughly 9 771 mi over 2.5 years, averaging about 3 900 mi per year. The jump to 44 771 mi by January 2026 adds another 3 394 mi in just eleven months, a modestly higher rate but still well below typical annual mileage for this age group. MOT entries are spaced roughly annually, providing a consistent inspection record that is recent enough—only six months before the present date—to reflect current condition. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake pads for uneven wear and ensure they are not approaching the minimum thickness specification. Both rear tyres require close examination for cracking or perishing sidewalls, as the advisories point to early deterioration that could affect grip and safety. The front tyre wear noted in January 2024 suggests uneven tread distribution; a visual check of all four tyres for edge wear and balance is advisable. The defective wiper blade should be replaced promptly to maintain visibility in wet conditions. Additionally, a thorough look for corrosion on wheel arches, underbody panels, and suspension mounts is warranted, given the vehicle’s age and the observed tyre damage. Finally, a test drive will reveal any binding in the brake calipers or suspension bushes that may not have been highlighted in the MOT checks.
