2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · KT14 CMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in February 2026 at 69,266 miles resulted in a pass despite both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a failure in February 2025 where the offside front brake pad was found to be thin, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 23,292 miles, maintaining a consistent pattern of roughly 7,700 miles annually recently. This low usage suggests minimal wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on the brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres in 2026 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the 2025 brake failure, the remaining life of the brake pads and the condition of the discs warrant scrutiny to ensure no pitting exists. Because the vehicle is aging, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural rust along the sills is necessary, although the MOT record has not yet flagged any corrosion issues to date.
