2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · NU60 HDV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness remains in good standing, though the maintenance trend is characteristically worsening, with the most recent test on 2025-09-26 failing to pass due to severe structural degradation in the front sub-frame. This failure represents a significant deterioration in the vehicle's mechanical integrity that has not been corrected since the previous inspection on 2024-09-06, which passed with minimal corrosion. The failure on 2025-09-26 is not a simple wear event but a structural compromise that suggests the vehicle has been neglected for a prolonged period. The mileage pattern indicates that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of wear, particularly on critical components. The test on 2025-09-04 failed with a record mileage of 140,152 miles, coinciding with a severe sub-frame failure. This rapid loss of structural integrity over two years suggests that basic upkeep, including regular inspections and potential maintenance for suspension and brakes, was skipped. The gap between the 2024-09-06 and 2025-09-04 inspections highlights a lack of proactive intervention, leaving the vehicle exposed to the risks associated with the failing 2025-09-26 test. Given the recurring faults, particularly the corrosion and structural weakness in the front sub-frame, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. The presence of corrosion on the front sub-frame and the failure of the registration plate lamp and rear stop lamp indicate that the vehicle may have suffered from a leak or a severe exhaust issue that requires immediate attention. The buyer must verify that the exhaust emissions are within specifications and that the brakes are functioning correctly, as the previous inspection flagged these components as potentially weakened or corroded.
