2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · AP63 FOK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of recurring minor defects and electrical faults. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 20,146 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an inoperative hazard warning switch and a faulty indicator switch. While the vehicle passed following these repairs, the persistence of multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and corrosion suggests that a reactive approach to maintenance has been observed rather than a preventative replacement strategy. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,679 miles per year. Data shows consistent, slow progression from 16,625 miles in January 2024 to 18,336 miles in January 2025, reaching 20,146 miles by early 2026. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it directly correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and the age-related issues noted in the records. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history consistently flags cracking, perishing, and structural cuts across all four corners over the last three years. The recurring advisory for a rusty rear suspension noted in both 2025 and 2026 necessitates a close look at the rear arms, springs, and mounting points to ensure that corrosion has not compromised structural integrity. Furthermore, the electrical system and specifically lighting stalks should be tested extensively to ensure the repairs made after the January 2026 failure remain reliable.
