2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SC61 EUJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean history to emerging surface mechanical wear. While the car passed four consecutive tests without defects between 2021 and 2024, the 2026 test at 41,429 miles introduced several advisories. This suggests that while the vehicle has remained stable for years, it is now beginning to show signs consistent with age rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from only 36,790 miles in late 2021 to 41,429 miles in April 2026. Such low annual mileage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and corrosion on metal surfaces if the car sits for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus specifically on the front braking system, as the 2026 test flagged both front brake discs as worn and pitted. The presence of a distorted nearside front inner wheel also indicates the vehicle has previously encountered a significant impact or pothole, which may have affected the alignment or suspension geometry. The discoloured indicators are a minor cosmetic concern but reflect the aging of the plastics. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the chassis for rust and the suspension bushes is essential to ensure that stationary corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle.
