2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · NJ64 OLP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a stable trend of deteriorating components related to low usage. The most recent test in August 2025 at 35,523 miles flagged multiple advisories, including pitted front brake discs and worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While the car passed, the recurring nature of these issues across several years indicates that components are reaching the end of their functional life rather than being proactively replaced during servicing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,960 miles per year. The data shows consistent, slow accumulation, such as the move from 28,444 miles in August 2021 to 35,523 miles in August 2025. This low-intensity use suggests the car has sat stationary for long periods, which explains the specific degradation of rubber-based components and metal surfaces that suffer more from environmental exposure and lack of movement than from mechanical wear. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front brake system, which has been noted for pitting and scoring in every annual test since 2023. The 2024 and 2025 records confirm that both front discs are significantly degraded, likely requiring replacement to ensure consistent braking performance and safety. Additionally, the front anti-roll bar linkages now show signs of wear in the latest test, which should be checked for play that could lead to clunking noises or handling instability. The tyres represent a significant concern due to a consistent history of cracking and perishing dating back to 2021. Because the mileage is so low, the rubber has aged out rather than wearing down through use. The buyer should inspect the sidewalls for deep fractures on all four tyres, as perished rubber is prone to sudden failure. Overall structural integrity appears uncompromised in the records, but the buyer should be prepared for immediate expenditure on suspension bushes and braking components to bring the vehicle up to a modern standard.
