2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SY09 NUX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful pass on 10 October 2025 at 45,245 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement after a period of instability. While the car failed two consecutive tests in July and September of 2025, the owner addressed the necessary issues to secure a clean certificate in the October test. This suggests that while the vehicle was prone to recent faults, the owner is willing to perform repairs to keep it up to standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,661 miles per year. The data reveals a significant gap in usage between July 2024 and July 2025, where the car covered only 980 miles in a full year. The three tests in 2025 occurred over a span of just three months, indicating the car was driven only three miles for testing purposes. Such low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2025, as the record does not explicitly list the defect codes. Given the low mileage and age, check for surface corrosion on the discs and perished brake sliders, which are common in vehicles that sit for long periods. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and leaking leaks, as low-mileage cars often suffer from dry rot. Additionally, verify the tyres for sidewall cracking, as high tread depth can be misleading if the rubber is aged.
