2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FG62 AAE

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 3 September 2025 at 30,795 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test showed no defects, and the preceding annual tests returned clean passes. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the data. The odometer readings trace a low-use profile for a 14-year-old vehicle. From 29,845 miles at the 29 August 2023 test, the car covered just 493 miles to 30,338 miles by 28 August 2024, then a further 457 miles to the 2025 test. Average annual use sits near 2,200 miles. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods rather than active daily driving. The record shows two failed tests on 28 August 2024 and 3 September 2025, both at essentially identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same dates, with no defects logged. This points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across all entries indicates no flagged wear items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and likely long idle spells. Check tyre sidewall condition and brake caliper freedom after standing, and verify the 2024 and 2025 fail entries were clerical by reviewing the DVSA failure reasons. The clean record implies reasonable care, but low mileage does not exempt an older Citroen from rubber perishing or fluid degradation.
