2016 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FD16 EDX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of deferred component replacement related to low usage intervals. The most recent test in August 2025 at 25,705 miles passed, but noted advisories for pitted and scored front brake discs. This condition mirrors a recurring issue seen in the 2022 test at 16,358 miles, suggesting that the discs are prone to surface corrosion while the vehicle sits stationary between services. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,570 miles per annum. This low usage is consistent across the records, moving from 11,759 miles in 2021 to 25,705 miles in 2025. However, this low mileage correlates with material degradation issues. The August 2024 test at 22,154 miles flagged the rear tyres for being perished and worn to the legal limit, a typical symptom of age-related rubber failure rather than mechanical road wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front brake assembly to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural integrity of the rotors. Given the recurring advisories for scored discs, the calipers should be checked for sticking pistons that might be causing uneven pad wear. Additionally, the tyres must be physically inspected for sidewall cracking or bulging, as the 2024 record confirms the rubber compound is reaching the end of life despite low tread depth.
