2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · KT62 DLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite minor, avoidable failures. The most recent test in July 2025 at 53,915 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor windscreen chip noted. This follows a failure in August 2024 due to a non-functional headlight and a worn tyre, both of which were rectified immediately to achieve compliance. This suggests the owner is willing to address urgent safety-related defects once they are flagged. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,850 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage, with only 4,165 miles recorded between August 2022 and July 2023, and another 6,356 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. Such low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, such as seals and brake hoses, which should be monitored during a physical inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end geometry, as the 2024 failure regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often points to an alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a close check for surface-level corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is necessary, as the record does not explicitly clear structural rust. While the history is relatively clean of major mechanical failures, the buyer should verify the brake discs and calipers to ensure they have not seized or pitted due to inactivity.
