2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CA64 AAJ

The vehicle is currently in a poor maintenance state with a worsening trend of neglected advisories. While it passed its most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 104,595 miles, the record shows a systemic failure to address recurring faults. The tester flagged corroded rear coil springs in three consecutive tests from 2023 to 2025, and a damaged windscreen has remained an advisory since November 2020. This pattern indicates a reactive approach to maintenance where the owner only performs the bare minimum required to pass the test. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,716 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage in recent years, with the odometer climbing from 67,446 miles in November 2022 to 104,595 miles by November 2025. This represents a jump to approximately 12,000 miles per year over the last three years, which places higher demand on the chassis and suspension components. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The persistent corrosion of the rear coil springs since November 2023 suggests they are nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the record shows a history of brake issues, including binding rear brakes in 2020 and 2021, and a failure for imbalanced rear brakes in November 2022. These recurring issues point to potential caliper seizure or poor servicing of the braking system. The tyre and lighting history also suggests poor upkeep. The vehicle has repeatedly failed to have worn or perishing tyres replaced promptly, with various tyres flagged as close to the legal limit in 2018, 2020, 2024, and 2025. The presence of defective headlamp lenses and intermittent position lamps in the most recent tests confirms a lack of attention to basic electrical maintenance. Any buyer should expect to replace the rear springs and tyres immediately.
