2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · HN65 ABF

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT on 1 October 2024 at 33,980 miles, so it is not roadworthy. The maintenance record shows recurring brake hose corrosion, suspension component wear and structural rust, indicating a persistent rather than improving condition. The mileage of 33,980 miles at 11 years old averages about 3,100 miles per year, which is low for its age. However the data reveal uneven usage: a jump of roughly 5,400 miles occurred between August 2018 and December 2019, and the recent interval from August 2023 to October 2024 added only a few hundred miles, suggesting periods of limited driving interspersed with sporadic use. A buyer should inspect the coil springs, anti‑roll bar, sub‑frame and rear axle for the extent of surface rust and any structural compromise. The repeated wear of the front and rear brake hoses, the split near‑side drive shaft CV joint boot and the pitted front brake discs demand close examination for leaks, binding and disc integrity. Suspension bushes, shock absorbers and tyre condition must also be checked in person. Because the same date shows both a pass and a fail and the defects recur across multiple tests, extensive remedial work will likely be required before the car can be considered reliable, and a prospective buyer must verify that all corroded components have been properly repaired or replaced.
