2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · SM65 VGF

The 2015 Citroen C1 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 29 October 2025 at 56,353 miles with zero defects recorded. That result follows a similarly clean pass on 10 November 2023 at 42,657 miles, and a pass on 9 November 2022 at 33,563 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 7 November 2024 at 51,713 miles, but the record shows no defects attached to that failure, suggesting a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault, as the car passed cleanly on the same date. The overall trajectory is one of consistent, defect-free roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. Between the November 2022 test at 33,563 miles and the November 2024 test at 51,713 miles, the car covered roughly 18,150 miles in two years, a notable uptick from the prior annual average of around 4,500 miles. However, the October 2025 test at 56,353 miles shows only 4,640 miles added in the following eleven months, returning to a low-usage pattern. The gap between November 2024 and October 2025 is unusually long at nearly twelve months, which may indicate a period of reduced use or the MOT being renewed early. No rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps appear in the record. With no recurring mechanical or structural defects flagged across five tests, the history does not point to any systemic problem with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake components, or structural corrosion. The clean record across multiple years and varying mileage intervals suggests the car has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no evidence of neglect in core safety systems. The absence of advisories on exhaust emissions, tyre condition, or lighting alignment across all tests further supports consistent basic upkeep. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully stress-test. Check the condition of tyre sidewalls and tread depth, as low annual mileage can lead to age-related rubber degradation even with sufficient tread. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, brake lines, and exhaust hangers, particularly if the car has spent periods stationary. Test the handbrake function on a slope and listen for binding calipers on a short drive, as these issues can develop between tests without triggering a failure. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but a hands-on check remains essential for a car of this age and usage pattern.
