CITROEN C12014 · 1.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-20 shows the vehicle passed but with multiple defects . These included a minor exhaust gas leak, corroded front sub-frame, rear axle corrosion, and corroded brake pipes. The same date also recorded a failed MOT with identical issues, suggesting possible duplication or conflicting outcomes. This inconsistency may indicate administrative errors, but the repeated presence of corrosion and exhaust faults is concerning. Recurring issues include brake pipe corrosion (noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOTs), exhaust system defects (leaks, insecure mounting), and sub-frame corrosion . Brake imbalances and binding were also recorded in 2024 and 2023, though these were resolved by 2025. The pattern suggests ongoing corrosion risks and potential neglect in maintaining brake and exhaust components, likely due to environmental exposure or lack of maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 81,148 miles (roughly 6,762 miles per year) is typical for its age, indicating average usage. However, the persistent corrosion and repeated brake pipe issues imply potential hard use or exposure to moisture, which can accelerate wear. While the mileage does not signal excessive wear, the corrosion suggests long-term exposure to harsh conditions or inadequate protection.
