2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · OW17 USM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 25,843 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. While a single failure occurred in April 2025, the immediate retest pass without further advisories suggests the issues identified were rectified promptly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,871 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 18,120 miles and April 2024 at 19,049 miles, the car covered only 929 miles. This pattern of use suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which typically preserves the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces if the car is not driven regularly enough. Given the clean records in the most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as the tread depth likely masks age-related rubber hardening. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized due to inactivity. You should also examine the suspension bushes and underbody for early signs of corrosion, as the lack of mechanical wear does not protect the vehicle from environmental oxidation over a decade.
