2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · GF10 OBP

The vehicle is currently overdue for an MOT, as the last test expired on June 10, 2026. The maintenance trend is concerning, showing a pattern of recurring mechanical neglect that has worsened over the last five years. While the June 2025 test resulted in a pass, the vehicle initially failed due to multiple electrical and braking failures, indicating that basic preventative maintenance is frequently deferred until the point of failure. The recorded mileage of 94,589 over sixteen years averages to approximately 5,900 miles annually, which is low for a vehicle of this age. However, the mileage accumulation is inconsistent. The car covered nearly 40,000 miles between 2016 and 2019, followed by a period of significantly lower usage. This suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods standing idle, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber components, brake systems, and fuel lines, as evidenced by the repeated advisories for corroded brake pipes and perished tyres found throughout the history. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear brake pipes and the binding rear service brake flagged in 2025. The persistent history of corroded brake pipes suggests that the underbody requires a detailed assessment for structural corrosion. Furthermore, the electrical system displays ongoing instability, with repeated failures regarding indicators, hazard switches, and tell-tale lights. Given the age of the vehicle and the frequency of these electrical and consumable faults, a comprehensive check of the suspension bushes and the oil leak noted in 2021 is essential to ensure the car is in a truly roadworthy condition.
