2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FG15 BBJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend showing improvement after periods of neglect. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 51,056 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the previous owner addressed the outstanding issues identified in prior years. This follows a period in August 2024 where the car failed initially due to multiple tyre-related defects before passing the re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with 9,608 miles covered between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 3,582 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which is consistent with the faults found in this record. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record from the August 2022 test at 33,945 miles flagged worn lower arm bushes on both sides, while the 2023 test identified corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe. Although these did not cause immediate failure, the recurring mention of corrosion on brake lines and worn bushes suggests the vehicle is susceptible to environmental damage during long periods of standing. The tyre history also reveals a pattern of poor consumable maintenance. Between 2023 and 2024, all four tyres were flagged for either tread depth near the legal limit or perishing and cracking. This suggests the previous owner only replaced tyres when forced by an MOT failure rather than a proactive schedule. Verify that the current set of tyres is of adequate age and that the brake lines remain free of the surface corrosion noted in previous inspections.
