2019 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · KN19 WOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a significant lapse in mechanical maintenance. While the car passed its June 2026 test at 34,081 miles, it had actually failed just two days prior due to an offside front wheel bearing with excessive play. This failure suggests that a critical component reached a point of major instability without prior intervention, though the issue was rectified immediately to secure the re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of low-usage between 2023 and 2025, where the car covered only 10,476 miles in two years. However, there was a sharper increase of 12,683 miles between May 2025 and June 2026. Low annual mileage can sometimes lead to dry seals or the seizing ofiding components if the vehicle is not driven long distances regularly. A buyer should physically inspect the front-end suspension to ensure the wheel bearing replacement was completed professionally and that no secondary damage occurred. Given the severity of the bearing failure, a thorough check of the offside hub assembly and steering geometry is advisable to confirm no further play remains. The history shows no recurring structural rust or consistent brake issues, but the sudden failure of the bearing indicates that mechanical wear items may have been neglected until they reached a critical failure point.
