2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · GY17 HNT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 July 2025 at 7,115 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive neglect followed by a recent corrective action. While the car failed its June 2025 test at 7,109 miles due to a damaged nearside mirror, a faulty stop lamp, and an ineffective windscreen wiper, these issues were addressed immediately, resulting in a successful inspection just one week later. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 790 miles per year. The data indicates significant periods of stationary time between June 2022 (4,262 miles) and June 2023 (4,510 miles), where only 248 miles were covered in a year. While this low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation such as perished seals, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should investigate the recurring failure of the central stop lamp, which appeared in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 records. This persistent fault suggests a potential wiring issue or a poorly fitted bulb housing rather than a simple bulb failure. Given the extremely low mileage, a physical inspection must focus on the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, which are common in vehicles that sit for extended periods.
