2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FG62 AAO

The 2012 Citroen C1 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2024-10-02 at 109,092 miles resulting in a failure but no recorded defects. Previous tests from 2023-10-09 and 2023-10-06 at 106,085 miles also showed no defects, while earlier tests in 2022 and 2021 were passed without issues. The lack of specific mechanical or safety failures in the record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a baseline standard, though the 2024 failure indicates a potential oversight or minor non-compliance. No recurring faults or escalating issues are evident in the data. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,092 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 7,792 miles annually, a typical rate for its age. MOT tests are spaced consistently, with intervals of roughly 12 months between 2021 and 2024, reflecting regular maintenance. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are recorded, which reduces concerns about excessive wear on consumables or structural components. The absence of defects in most tests implies the vehicle has not encountered critical mechanical or safety issues, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear items in older vehicles. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop without immediate MOT failures. Corrosion on the chassis or underbody, particularly in areas prone to road salt, should also be assessed. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2024 failure suggests a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and address any unresolved issues.
