2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · SM65 JFA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear in recent years. The most recent test in January 2026 at 74,819 miles passed with an advisory for a distorted nearside front road wheel. This specific fault has persisted since the February 2025 test at 64,016 miles, indicating the component has not been replaced despite multiple inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and January 2024, the car covered roughly 19,000 miles with no recorded defects. However, usage increased significantly later, with nearly 9,000 miles recorded by the February 2025 test and another 10,800 miles leading into early 2026. This uptick in annual mileage correlates with the appearance of wear-related issues on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the 2024 test at 54,009 miles flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. While these did not cause a failure, the recurring surface corrosion suggests long periods of inactivity or poor cleaning. The offside rear shock absorber noted for light oil misting in 2025 should be monitored for further leakage, as misting is often the precursor to a total seal failure. Additionally, the distorted nearside front wheel should be checked for vibrations at road speeds, as it has remained an unresolved advisory for over a year.
