2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · HJ57 ELL

The vehicle is in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in November 2025 at 43,378 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The car currently meets all minimum testing standards without outstanding advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of use between December 2022 and November 2025, where the car covered roughly 10,000 miles over a three-year-and-month interval. This low annual mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition, as the history reveals recurring issues with rubber. The December 2022 failure at 33,319 miles flagged a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre and perished offside rear rubber, followed by repeated advisories for the offside rear tyre in 2023 and 2024. While these are now resolved, the pattern suggests the vehicle may be prone to flat-spotting or sidewall cracking due to low usage. Additionally, verify the integrity of the windscreen for any chips or cracks to ensure the obstruction that caused the 2022 failure has been properly rectified and does not recur.
