2006 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CE06 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent test on 23 April 2024 at 116,443 miles, which returned no defects. This clean result follows a period of fluctuating maintenance standards. The 2023 test at 110,364 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a corroded nearside rear brake pipe. These issues appear to have been addressed, as the subsequent 2024 inspection shows no remaining advisories or failures regarding these components. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year over its twenty-year lifespan. Between July 2020 and July 2021, the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles, representing a period of higher activity compared to the more gradual accumulation seen in earlier years. The data is consistent and shows no significant gaps in testing, providing a continuous record of the vehicle's condition from 2012 onwards. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on the chassis and braking system due to recurring themes in the history. The tester flagged brake pipe corrosion in 2019, 2020, and 2023, suggesting that while current records are clean, the vehicle is prone to moisture-related degradation in the fuel or brake lines. Surface rust on the subframes and chassis was also noted in May 2017. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and the condition of the brake lines is necessary to ensure previous repairs have held. Suspension and steering components also warrant scrutiny. The record shows play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint in July 2020 and deteriorating anti-roll bar bushes in 2016 and 2017. While the 2024 test was clear, an inspection of the steering rack, bushes, and mounting points is advised to confirm that these wear items have been adequately replaced or remain within acceptable tolerances.
