2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MT63 GHF

The vehicle shows a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. In the January 2026 test at 102,813 miles, the car failed on multiple significant points primarily centered around the braking system and structural integrity. The tester identified binding rear service brakes along with pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. More critically, excessive corrosion was noted on all front brake pipes and corrosion on the front sub-frame. While the vehicle passed a re-test in February 2026 at 102,834 miles, the presence of these issues suggests that the underbody components are reaching the end of their service life. At 102,834 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage. However, the record reveals a recurring pattern of wear on rubber and suspension components. The 2025 failure at 92,702 miles highlighted a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot and a tyre worn to the legal limit with wall damage. The rear rear shock absorbers have been flagged for corrosion and fluid leaks across both 2024 and 2025, indicating that the suspension system is degrading over time. A buyer should be wary of the ongoing state of the sub-frame and brake lines, as the 2026 report explicitly mentions corrosion. Although not yet seriously weakened, surface rust in these areas on this model often leads to expensive structural repairs if not monitored. The recent history of binding brakes and corroded pipes indicates that the braking system requires close inspection. While the car currently holds an MOT, the technical data points to a vehicle that is beginning to require significant investment to maintain its chassis and safety components.
