2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SL62 WFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows significant concerns regarding structural integrity and mechanical neglect. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 118,555 miles passed, it followed a failure just six days prior due to a major structural defect involving significant deformation of the offside rear sill and a persistent format fault. The presence of recurring corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames across multiple test years indicates that the vehicle is suffering from advanced oxidation that has not been treated. The recorded mileage of 118,555 miles over a 14-year period reflects a consistent average usage pattern of approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, moving from 101,569 miles in October 2023 to 118,555 miles in October 2025. This regular use is typical for a vehicle of this age, yet the high mileage correlates with the accelerated wear seen on components like the exhaust and suspension systems noted in the records. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the lower bodywork, specifically the sills and sub-frames, as the history shows a progression from minor deformation to significant reduction in structural rigidity. The braking system requires close attention due to repeated failures involving corroded brake pipes and grease-covered lines between 2023 and 2024. Furthermore, the persistent ABS warning lamp that appeared in both 2024 and 2025 suggests an electronic or hydraulic fault that has not been fully rectified, despite the recent passing grade.
