2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · GP17 DTX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, despite showing low annual usage. The most recent test in September 2025 at 12,503 miles resulted in a pass but identified the front brake discs as pitted or scored. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates that the metal surfaces are beginning to show signs of surface corrosion likely linked to inactivity rather than heavy mechanical wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,400 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 7,593 miles and September 2025 at 12,503 miles, the car covered only 4,910 miles. This infrequent use suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which explains the 2023 advisory at 9,090 miles regarding the perishing sidewalls on both the nearside front and rear tyres due to agerelated cracking. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the condition of all rubber components, as low-mileage history often masks dry rot rather than tread wear. The pitted front brake discs noted in the 2025 test require replacement to ensure consistent braking performance and prevent further scoring. Additionally, the inspector should check for seized brake calipers and suspension bushes, as these are common failure points on vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
