2018 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LS05 ORS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 49,782 miles resulted in a pass, despite noted body damage to the offside sill and door. While the car has consistently passed its annual inspections, the record shows a recurring pattern of allowing consumable components and minor defects to deteriorate until they reach the point of failure or advisory threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with an average-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2021 at 12,274 miles and August 2022 at 24,199 miles, where over 12,000 miles were covered in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has stabilised to roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage generally suggests the engine and various rubber components have seen moderate mechanical stress. A buyer must pay close attention to the offside sill and door mentioned in the 2025 record to ensure the structural damage has not compromised the integrity of the chassis or introduced hidden corrosion. The history shows a clear disregard for tyre maintenance, with the 2022 test flagging four tyres for perishing and cracking, and the 2024 test noting an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, leading to dry rot in the sidewalls. The brake system also requires physical inspection, as the 2022 test identified thin front pads and worn discs. While no brake failures were recorded since then, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and rotors to ensure the previous owner addressed those earlier advisories.
