2015 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · YW64 CUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 39,074 miles passed with an advisory for a worn front brake disc. This represents a slight improvement from the significant failure in January 2023 where the brakes were found excessively corroded and thin. While the car has passed its last three tests, the history indicates that components are only addressed once they approach or reach thresholds. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 39,074 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 3,552 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the slow mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it introduces risks related to age-related degradation. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,209 miles, yet the tester flagged cracking and perishing on both rear tyres in the January-year test. This suggests the car sits for long periods, causing rubber components to dry out regardless of the low tread depth. A buyer should inspect the front suspension system closely, as the anti-roll bar linkage bushes were flagged as worn in 2023. Although they were not mentioned in subsequent tests, these parts often deteriorate quickly on low-mileage stationary vehicles. The braking system also requires attention; the transition from heavy corrosion in 2023 to a worn disc advisory in 2025 suggests the discs are prone to surface rust during inactivity. Check all four tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as the record confirms a history of material failure due to the age of the rubber rather than mileage..
