2020 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SM69 XYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 24,392 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn near the legal limit. This indicates a stable trend following a mechanical failure in the previous year, suggesting that while the owner addresses immediate safety defects, the vehicle is susceptible to consumable wear between annual intervals. The car shows exceptionally low mileage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 4,365 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, followed by another 2,671-mile stretch leading into December 2024. This low usage generally means less strain on the engine and drivetrain components, but the long periods of standing or short-distance driving often lead to issues like surface corrosion on brake components, which is evident in the late 2024 records. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system. The failure in December 2024 was caused by both the nearside and offside front brake discs being pitted and scored, alongside a binding nearside front caliper. While these were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of binding issues suggests the calipers may be prone to seizing due to inactivity. A physical inspection should verify that the brake pistons move freely and that the new discs show no signs of uneven wear or premature heat spotting.
