2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · FA66 CPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive wear-related repairs. The most recent test in February 2026 at 66,724 miles flagged the front brake discs as being worn and pitted. This follows a similar advisory from the January 2025 test at 59,971 miles, where both the discs and thin brake pads were noted. While the car continues to pass, the recurring nature of the brake component issues suggests maintenance is performed upon failure rather than at intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable period between February 2022 at 45,007 miles and January 2024 at 53,575 miles where no mechanical defects were recorded. The 2023 test at 48,930 miles highlighted perishing on both the nearside front and offside rear tyres, indicating the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or suffered from environmental exposure during that timeframe. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the discs indicate surface corrosion or heavy use that soon requires replacement. The front anti-roll bar bush, previously flagged as worn in 2025, should be checked for excessive movement which could cause clunking or affect handling. Given the history of tyre perishing in 2023, the age and sidew condition of the current tyres must be verified, as the low mileage often masks rubber degradation over time.
