2013 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MW13 YVL

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-23 recorded surface corrosion on rear rigid brake pipes and general surface corrosion on the underside of the vehicle. These findings suggest ongoing exposure to environmental factors, though no critical safety issues were noted. The vehicle has no recorded defects in two of its last three MOTs (2025-04-28 and 2022-02-23), indicating periods of stable condition. Corrosion has been a recurring theme since 2024, with sub-frame corrosion (not seriously weakened) and worn, pitted brake discs identified. The 2024 MOT highlighted front and rear sub-frame corrosion, while the 2023 MOT noted minor anti-roll bar linkage wear. These issues suggest a gradual progression of surface-level degradation, particularly in areas prone to moisture or road salt exposure. However, no major structural or safety-critical defects have been recorded in the past three years. The vehicle’s low mileage of 18,729 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 1,441 miles per year. This is significantly below average for its age, which could indicate infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. While lower mileage may reduce wear on moving parts like brakes and suspension, it can also lead to accelerated corrosion if the vehicle is not regularly driven.
