2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · WR15 RWN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care as it ages. The most recent test in August 2025 at 24,228 miles identified mechanical failures involving deteriorated front anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers and pitted front brake discs. While the car passed, these defects indicate that components are being addressed only once they reach a point of failure rather than being replaced during routine service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the narrow gaps between tests, such as the 1,123 miles driven between the July 2024 and August 2025 inspections. While this low-mileage status typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry, which aligns with the issues seen in the recent record. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rubber-based components, as the 2024 test flagged a perishing offside rear tyre and the 2025 test highlighted deteriorated ball joint dust covers. The buyer should also verify that the front brake discs were actually replaced following the 2025 advisory, as pitting and scoring suggest the vehicle has sat stationary. Given the history of worn tyres in the 2021 test, a thorough check for sidewall cracking and uneven wear is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked age-related material failure.
