2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LS14 BWG

The current roadworthiness status of this Citroen C1 is satisfactory, as evidenced by the pass certificate issued on 29 April 2026 at 77,121 miles. While the vehicle remains compliant with legal standards, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in component condition. The most recent inspection identified premature wear on the front braking system and emerging play in the nearside rear wheel bearing, suggesting that while the car is functional, it now requires proactive mechanical intervention to prevent these advisories from escalating into failures. The vehicle has covered 77,121 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent and healthy for a small city car, avoiding the risks associated with long-term storage or excessive high-speed motorway accumulation. A notable period of inactivity occurred between July 2022 and May 2023, where the car covered only 19 miles, though the subsequent annual testing intervals have remained regular and predictable. This history indicates a vehicle that has been used primarily for short-distance transit rather than heavy-duty cycles. Prospective buyers should prioritise an inspection of the front brake discs and pads, as the recent assessment confirms they are nearing the end of their service life and will likely require replacement before the next test. The recurring mention of the nearside rear wheel bearing, first noted in May 2024 and persisting into the 2026 test, warrants a physical check for audible grinding or excessive movement when the wheel is loaded. Addressing these specific items will resolve the current advisories and restore the vehicle to a baseline of optimal mechanical health.
