2021 Citroen C1 Shine 1.0L Petrol · ST71 KWR

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite minor component wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 42,735 miles resulted in a pass, though it identified a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in excessive movement or a failure, the advisory indicates the beginning of degradation in the front assembly that will require future monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a city car, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 29,802 miles and the November 2025 test at 42,735 miles, the car covered 12,933 miles. This interval suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, and the record remains relatively clean with only one minor item regarding the front wiper blade noted in the previous year. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the nearside arm bush. Since the tester flagged this as an advisory, checking for clunking or uneven handling during a test drive is essential to determine if the wear is accelerating. Given the low mileage for the age, the focus should also remain on the condition of rubber components and brake discs to ensure no age-related corrosion has occurred despite the low distance driven.
