2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · VN60 ABO

The 2026‑01‑09 MOT passed, confirming the 2011 Citroën C1 is currently roadworthy despite minor recorded defects. The maintenance record shows a stable pattern, with no evidence of worsening mechanical condition; recurring tyre wear and suspension linkage wear have been noted in successive tests, but each failure was addressed before the subsequent pass. At 108,704 miles the vehicle averages about 7,250 miles per year, consistent with its 15‑year age. Mileage has risen steadily from 42,658 miles in December 2014 to the present, with a notable acceleration between 2024 and 2026, rising from 89,950 miles to 108,704 miles, indicating increased usage in recent years. A buyer should focus on the suspension components flagged repeatedly – the near‑side front track‑rod end ball‑joint dust cover, and the front and off‑side lower anti‑roll bar linkage pins and bushes, which have shown wear but not excessive movement. Tyre condition warrants close scrutiny, given multiple entries noting edge wear and cuts that exceed legal limits. The 2018 MOT recorded front brake disc pitting, so brake condition should be verified, and the inoperative registration plate lamp and insecure headlamp or mirror noted in the January 2026 test require functional checks. Overall, the vehicle’s record suggests regular but not meticulous upkeep; the buyer should confirm that previous remedial work addressed the listed defects and consider a professional inspection of suspension, braking and tyre wear before final purchase.
