2008 CITROEN C11.0L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 175,357 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 2 March 2026 and 24 February 2025, the lack of recorded defects on those failure certificates suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately during the same visit. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's 18-year age, averaging roughly 9,742 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 6,437 miles covered between 28 February 2024 and 24 February 2025, and a further 5,535 miles added by the March 2026 test. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration from standing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage Citroen C1. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear over the last three years is atypical for a car with 175,357 miles. A buyer should verify if the vehicle has undergone significant preventative maintenance outside of the MOT process, as the record does not show the expected wear and tear for this mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and sills for structural rust, as these are common failure points for this model that may have been overlooked. Check the condition of the coil springs and the operation of the brake calipers. Given the high mileage and clean record, confirming the service history for the timing belt and water pump is essential to ensure the engine's long-term reliability.
