2013 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · BT13 AEJ

The 2013 Citroen C1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent test on 2025-12-06 at 62,803 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results that showed consistent compliance. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged across the 13-year span, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though no major mechanical interventions are documented. The mileage of 62,803 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 4,831 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage rate is reflected in the MOT intervals, which align closely with annual cycles, showing no extended gaps. The vehicle’s mileage increased by just 1,380 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, implying infrequent operation or periods of inactivity. While this may reduce wear on components like brakes and tyres, it could also indicate potential issues with rubber seals, hoses, or electrical systems due to lack of regular use. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low-mileage vehicles often experience premature wear in these areas. Check brake discs for corrosion, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods, and assess the exhaust system for rust, which can develop in underused vehicles. The absence of recorded faults is positive, but the low mileage warrants a thorough check of fluid levels, battery condition, and steering components to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT records.
