2007 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · YL07 FXC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of unaddressed minor mechanical degas. The most recent test in January 2026 at 76,522 miles passed despite a recurring non-excessive oil leak and a corroded offside rear brake pipe. This specific brake pipe issue has appeared in four consecutive tests from 2022 to 2026, indicating that the owner has opted for minimum legal compliance rather than replacing the corroded components. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,522 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,300 miles driven between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests. While this low mileage suggests less overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and accelerated corrosion, which aligns with the suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as both nearside and offside suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2022 and 2023. Although these were not mentioned in the most recent tests, the age of the vehicle makes perished rubber prone to failure. The offside rear brake pipe requires close attention; the presence of grease over the corrosion suggests an attempt to mask structural decay that could eventually lead to a sudden line failure. Furthermore, the persistent oil leak should be identified to ensure it is a minor seal failure rather than a more significant engine gasket issue.
