CITROEN C12005 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted in March at , miles, resulted in a pass with minor issues including nearside front tyre wear and a gearbox oil leak. Subsequent tests from and reveal recurring brake disc wear, failed lighting components, and tyre tread nearing legal limits. The maintenance trend shows persistent but non-critical issues, with no major structural or mechanical failures recorded. However, the absence of MOT records post- raises concerns about unverified condition, as the car is now years old with no recent roadworthiness validation. The vehicle’s mileage of , miles over years equates to approximately , miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage suggests potential storage or infrequent operation, which can accelerate degradation of rubber components, corrosion, and fluid stagnation. Notably, the MOT at , miles recorded a failed test with critical brake pad wear (less than . mm) and lipped discs, followed by a pass at , miles with similar tyre and gearbox issues. The two-year gap between and tests, during which mileage increased by , miles, indicates irregular maintenance patterns. Recurring brake disc wear, lighting failures, and tyre tread issues highlight the need for a thorough inspection of the braking system, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and pad condition. The gearbox oil leak and absence of recent MOT data necessitate checking for fluid leaks, suspension bushings, and coil spring integrity. Structural corrosion should also be assessed, as low mileage combined with age may mask hidden rust or body panel degradation. Buyers should prioritise a professional mechanical survey to confirm the vehicle’s current state beyond the outdated MOT records.
