2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · YY16 HMV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 June 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend remains stable, as the car has achieved a consistent string of clean passes between 2022 and 2025. The most recent inspection at 51,549 miles identified the first recorded advisories in four years, specifically noting thinning front brake pads and uneven wear on the nearside front tyre. These items represent standard consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard. Accumulating 51,549 miles over a ten-year period averages out to approximately 5,155 miles per annum, which is well below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The history shows a steady, predictable usage pattern with no significant gaps or periods of inactivity that would typically raise concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals. The lack of recorded defects during the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests indicates a history of light, consistent use that has not placed excessive strain on the drivetrain or structural integrity of the chassis. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking system and the tyre tread depths to ensure the recent advisories are addressed. While the MOT history is clean, the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre may point to a potential tracking or alignment issue that warrants a check during a test drive. Inspect the suspension components and steering rack for any play, as these are common wear points on the C1 platform. Provided the front brake pads are replaced and the front tyres are matched for tread and pressure, the vehicle presents as a well-cared-for example with no evidence of chronic neglect or recurring mechanical instability.
