2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · YY16 HMX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 54,095 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean result in 2025, suggesting the car is currently being maintained to a high standard of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is notably low for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage over the last four years, moving from 28,391 miles in 2022 to 54,095 miles in early 2026. This low-frequency usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of low mileage can sometimes lead to premature degradation of rubber components or brake fluid contamination if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and suspension geometry based on historically recorded issues. The April 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads and pitted, scored discs, while the April 2024 test noted a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. While these appear to be resolved, the edge wear noted in 2024 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Checking for uneven tyre wear during a test drive is advisable to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying suspension-related faults.
