2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · VN60 ACF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than preventative care. The most recent test on August 3, 2026, at 128,905 miles, passed despite a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease. This specific issue is a recurring fault, having appeared previously in July 2022 and again in July 2025, suggesting that the corrosion in the brake lines has not been adequately addressed or replaced over multiple inspection cycles. The mileage progression is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. There is a notable discrepancy in recorded mileage between July 2023 (114,267 miles) and August 2024 (114,267 miles), where the vehicle showed no travel for a year, likely indicating a period of stationary storage. However, the subsequent accumulation of nearly 15,000 miles between 2024 and 2026 indicates the car has since come back into regular high-frequency use. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The recurring failure for corroded brake pipes indicates a need for a thorough check of the hydraulic lines to prevent sudden pressure loss. Furthermore, the nearside front drive shaft CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2022 and 2023; the buyer must verify if this component has since caused damage to the joint itself. The history of thin brake pads and worn tyres across various years suggests that consumables are often only replaced once they reach the legal failure point.
