2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FN60 OKP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 49,497 miles identified a defective front exhaust mounting, which is a minor structural failure but follows a trend of wear-related items being flagged. While the car has passed its inspections consistently, the record suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the threshold of MOT failure. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,497 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, as evidenced by the 2021 test at 32,204 miles where the tester noted perishing tyres and aging suspension bushes. The mileage gap between 2024 and 2025 was only 4,176 miles, confirming the vehicle sits stationary, which can accelerate corrosion on brake surfaces and seize seals. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows recurring issues with pitted and scored brake discs across 2021, 2023, and 2024, suggesting the discs are frequently left to rust during periods of inactivity. Additionally, the 2021 report of worn anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes indicates that the front-end rubberwork may be prone to play. Checking the wheel bearings for noise is also essential, as they were flagged as slightly noisy years ago and may not have been replaced since.
