2021 Citroen C1 JCC + 1.0L Petrol · SL21 PFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred component replacement. While it passed its latest test in April 2026 at 24,969 miles, the tester identified multiple mechanical defects that were not present in the previous year. The appearance of worn front brake discs, thin pads, and a near-legal-limit offside front tyre indicates that the owner is only addressing components once they reach a failure point rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 14,202 miles and the 2025 test at 19,381 miles, the car covered roughly 5,200 miles. This low annual usage often leads to accelerated corrosion on brake components due to lack of heat cycles, which aligns with the pitting and scoring noted on the front discs across the inspection records. A buyer must inspect the front braking system specifically, as the record shows pitted and scored discs in both 2024 and 2026. The recurring uneven wear on the offside front tyre, flagged in both 2025 and 2026, suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remains unaddressed. A physical inspection of the tyre geometry and brake wear is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying mechanical degradation from sitting.
