2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · KP11 ERZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. In the most recent test in May 2025 at 54,783 miles, the car passed after an initial failure related to emissions and suspension components. While the vehicle currently meets legal standards, the history of failing for multiple safety-critical items in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they are flagged by a MOT tester. At 54,783 miles, this fifteen-year-old Citroen shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,650 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 800 miles driven between July 2023 and May 2024, and another 3,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. Such infrequent movement explains the perishing of tyres noted in the record. A buyer must specifically inspect the rear suspension and braking systems due to recurring corrosion issues. The offside rear brake pipe was flagged in 2023 and 2024, and the offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover failed in 2025. These faults, combined with worn anti-roll bar bushes identified in the latest test, indicate that rubber seals and bushings are deteriorating due to age and lack of use. The 2025 failure regarding exhaust lambda readings also suggests the oxygen sensor may be beginning to fail, which warrants monitoring to ensure fuel efficiency remains optimal.
