2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SD14 EBJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend following recent reactive repairs. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 83,128 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent issues with wear and tear, the car has consistently maintained a passing status over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 54,248 miles and the July 2025 test at 83,128 miles, the car covered 28,880 miles, suggesting steady usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can lead to aging rubber components and seals due to time rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 test flagged play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. Although this was cleared for the 2025 pass, recurring issues in this model often point to broader wear in bushes and linkage components. The 2023 advisory regarding a worn offside tyre and the 2021 failure for an exhaust leak suggest that previous owners occasionally neglected preventative maintenance until prompted by a tester. A thorough check of the exhaust manifold and heat shields for corrosion is necessary to ensure no new leaks have developed since the last recorded fault.
