2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · YB64 LVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 74,448 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just three days prior. The trend shows a temporary improvement in basic safety items after a failure, but the recurring nature of the faults suggests a lack of routine mechanical inspections. The repeated brake-related and tyre issues indicate that the owner only addresses mechanical defects when they reach the point of an MOT failure. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old city car, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between January 2024 test at 71,685 miles and January 2025 at 73,626 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,941 miles, indicating very low usage during that period. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking tyres noted in 2024 and the exposed cords during the 2026 inspection. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system and suspension, as the record shows a history of binding rear calipers, excessively corroded front brake pipes, and fluctuating discs. The 2024 failure specifically highlighted significant wear on the front discs and poor parking brake adjustment, which are critical concerns for a low-use vehicle. The buyer should also verify that the electronic stability control system and the TPMS are now functional, as both were previously flagged as inoperative or faulty. Beyond the mechanicals, the recurring failure of the passenger door to open from the outside suggests a mechanical fault in the latch mechanism that requires physical inspection to ensure it is fully resolved.
