2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · YY15 ETF

The vehicle remains roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on March 12 2026 at 43,435 miles. While the car consistently passes tests, the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of unaddressed structural and component-related wear. The offside sill has been flagged as damaged in every recorded test back to 2022, indicating a recurring structural issue or physical impact that has not been rectified over the last four years. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 43,435 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of 5,252 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the 2023 advisory regarding perishing tyres and the 2022 report of worn suspension arm bushes despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the offside sill to determine if the damage is superficial surface corrosion or deep structural corrosion affecting the integrity. The history shows that front brake discs have been pitted and scored since 2022, suggesting the owner allows components to reach the limit of their life rather than performing preventative maintenance. Furthermore, the front suspension bushes and arms should be checked for play or further cracking, as the wear noted in the 2022 test indicates the rubber elements have long since begun to degrade due to age.
