2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · YP64 UPC

A clean and consistent roadworthiness record defines this 2015 Citroen C1, with the most recent test on 12 January 2026 resulting in a pass with no advisories or defects recorded. This follows a previous pass on 21 January 2025 and an earlier retest pass on 17 January 2025, which immediately followed a fail on the same date where no defects were listed, suggesting a minor item was addressed between the two closely linked tests. The 2024 cycle mirrors this pattern precisely, with a fail on 19 January 2024 followed by a pass four days later on 23 January 2024, again with no recorded defects on either occasion. Across four consecutive testing cycles, the vehicle has demonstrated an ability to achieve a clean pass each year, with any minor issues resolved promptly between initial test and retest, indicating a generally sound mechanical state at the point of each annual examination. The recorded mileage of 86,724 against an age of approximately 11 years equates to an annual accumulation of around 7,884 miles, which is broadly typical for a vehicle in this category and age bracket. There are no extended gaps between MOT tests that would suggest long-term standing off the road, nor are there any unusual mileage spikes between consecutive tests that might indicate a discrepancy or clock irregularity. This steady usage pattern is mechanically favourable, as regular driving tends to keep seals, bushes, brake components, and exhaust systems active rather than allowing corrosion or drying-out of rubber components. The mileage is high enough to confirm the vehicle has been used consistently, which typically means wear items such as tyres, brake pads, and discs have been replaced as needed, rather than potentially perished from lack of use. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there is no specific component flagged for monitoring, but a physical inspection should nonetheless focus on the items commonly associated with higher-mileage C1s of this generation. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces, as the front anti-roll bar drop links and lower wishbone bushes are known wear points on this platform and would not necessarily be flagged at MOT unless severely deteriorated. Check for uneven tyre wear, particularly on the inner edges, which can indicate worn rear beam axle bushes or front suspension geometry issues, and inspect both front and rear brake discs for lipping or corrosion, as discs at this mileage are often approaching replacement threshold. During a road test, pay close attention to brake pedal response, feeling for any sponginess or excessive travel that might suggest a fluid or hydraulic issue, and listen for any binding or scraping from the rear drums which are common on this model at higher mileages. Inspect the underside and inner arches for any surface corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and suspension mounting points, as the C1 can develop rust in these areas if used in winter conditions over many years. Verify that the steering feels precise without vibration or pulling to either side, and confirm the clutch operates smoothly without slipping under acceleration or juddering on engagement, given the mileage. Finally, confirm that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after startup and that the engine runs without misfires, excessive smoke, or unusual engine management lights, as the C1s three-cylinder petrol unit should run quietly and consistently when in good mechanical order.
