2016 Citroen C1 Feel 1.0L Petrol · YJZ 2115

A clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, most recently on 19 November 2025, shows that no defects have been recorded for this 2016 Citroën C1 Feel, suggesting that none of the inspected safety‑critical systems have triggered a failure or advisory during the statutory checks. The absence of any recorded faults over a ten‑year span points to a consistent level of compliance with the minimum roadworthiness standards required by the DVSA. At 111 737 miles the vehicle averages roughly 11 200 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a small city car of this age. The MOT chronology reveals a two‑year gap between the 2020 and 2022 tests, after which annual testing has been maintained, indicating that the car has not been subject to prolonged periods of inactivity that could conceal hidden corrosion or fluid deterioration. The steady accumulation of mileage implies normal wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread, and suspension bushings, but does not, on its own, reveal any specific component failure. Prospective buyers should concentrate the test drive on the brake system: feel for any pulsation or sponginess in the pedal, listen for squeal or grinding when applying the brakes, and verify that the vehicle pulls straight under braking. Inspect the steering response for any looseness or excessive play, particularly when negotiating bumps, which can expose worn tie‑rod ends or deteriorated suspension bushes. A visual check of the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition is advisable, as uneven wear may hint at alignment issues or worn suspension components that would not have been flagged by the MOT. A pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic should include a thorough examination of the front and rear suspension arms, coil springs, and any visible corrosion on the subframe or chassis, as these areas are prone to fatigue after a hundred thousand miles. Confirm that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive rust, and that all lighting, windscreen wipers, and seat‑belt mechanisms operate correctly. Verifying the condition of the battery terminals and ensuring the engine oil level and quality are appropriate will round out a comprehensive assessment before committing to purchase.
