2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · WU10 VGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 64,217 miles passed, the tester flagged a corroded offside front brake pipe and a worn offside front tyre. These issues follow a significant failure in March 2025 where multiple electrical and mechanical faults were identified, suggesting that the owner tends to address defects only when they directly cause an MOT failure. At 64,217 miles over 16 years, the car reflects exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data reveals a notable gap in usage, with only 57 miles recorded between the November 2023 and March 2025 tests, and another 1,418 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. Such low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which is consistent with the corroded brake pipe noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and suspension assembly. The history shows a binding offside rear service brake in 2025 and pitted front discs during the same period, indicating the calipers may be prone to seizing due to infrequent use. Given the corroded brake pipe found in 2026, a thorough check for structural rust along the hydraulic lines is essential to prevent sudden failure. The previous failure of indicators and position lamps in 2025 warrants a check of the wiring loom and bulb sockets to ensure no moisture-related corrosion is present.
