2020 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · YR20 UAT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward worsening maintenance standards compared to previous years. While the car passed its 2022 through 2024 tests without any defects, the November 2025 test at 28,697 miles flagged multiple advisories across several systems. This suggests that after a period of clean records, the components are now reaching their wear limits and require immediate attention. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 16,737 miles in late 2022 to 24,430 miles in late 2024, and reaching 28,697 miles by late 2025. This low mileage usually implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it explains the degradation of rubber-based components noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer must inspect the front braking system specifically, as the 2025 test noted pitted and scored front brake discs alongside thin pads. The tester also identified all four tyres as nearing the legal limit or showing signs of perishing and cracking, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. Additionally, the front anti-roll bar linkage shows early signs of wear that should be checked for excessive movement to prevent a future failure.
