1991 Citroen C15 1.8L Diesel · H390 CHR

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 42,111 miles, the tester identified pitted front brake discs and fluctuating service brakes, alongside a corroded nearside front coil spring. This represents a progression from the clean records seen in previous years, indicating that components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between December 2021 and December 2022 where the car covered only 14 miles in a full year. Since then, the mileage has increased steadily, covering nearly 14,000 miles over the last three years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the infrequent use often leads to age-related failure of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing noted in 2023. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry to address recurring issues. The record shows intermittent binding brakes and thin pads across 2023 and 2024, culminating in the scored discs of 2025. The noted corrosion on the nearside front coil spring is a significant structural concern; it should be checked for deep scaling that could lead to fracture. Additionally, the condition of the tyres and wiper blades requires verification, as the history suggests the vehicle is prone to surface age-related degradation due to long periods of standing.
