2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LP64 VFT

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its braking system and structural integrity. While it passed its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 53,862 miles, this result followed a significant failure just five days prior. The record reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance where multiple critical faults, such as binding calipers, thin pads, and corroded brake pipes, were only addressed when forced by a test failure rather than being maintained through a proactive service schedule. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 53,862 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the accelerated corrosion of rubber components and metal surfaces seen in this history. Between September 2023 at 41,267 miles and October 2025 at 53,862 miles, the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles, yet this period saw a rapid degradation in the condition of the braking hardware and structural members despite the overall low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear sub-frames, as corrosion has been a recurring issue since at least 2024. Although the tester noted the rust was not yet seriously weakened, the presence of corrosion on both sub-frames and brake pipes suggests a harsh environment. Specific attention should also be paid to the braking assembly; the history shows binding offside front brakes and rear rear brakes, which indicates seized calipers or perished sliders that may require immediate replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance.
