CITROEN C12010 · 1.0L PETROL

The Citroen C1 passed its most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 20,101 miles, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend shows a stable long-term pattern with a single isolated lapse: the car failed the prior day's test on 18 November 2025 for twin front tyre cuts exposing ply or cords, a defective wiper blade, and two inoperative dashboard tell-tales. The owner corrected all faults within 24 hours and cleared the retest. Aside from minor rear tyre perishing noted in October 2023, the history carries no structural, suspension, brake, or corrosion advisories across five successive annual tests. Recorded mileage sits at 20,101 against a 2010 build, an average of roughly 1,256 miles per year. The October 2022 test at 16,985 miles, October 2023 at 18,157, October 2024 at 19,633, and November 2025 at 20,101 confirm a consistently low annual accumulation with no sudden jumps. Such limited use over sixteen years suggests prolonged standing periods rather than active wear, though the clean pass rate implies basic servicing was maintained despite the low turnover. The November 2025 failure on both front tyres reaching the cords indicates the previous owner allowed aged rubber to degrade beyond safe limits before the test. A buyer should physically inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and confirm date codes, given the car's low mileage and likely static storage. The inoperative indicator and hazard tell-tales recorded on both November 2025 tests point to a dashboard bulb or circuit fault; verify the cluster illumination functions correctly. No recurring mechanical defects appear in the record. The 2023 rear tyre perishing has not returned, and brake, exhaust, and suspension items drew no advisories at any stage. Prospective buyers should still commission a underside inspection for corrosion and check suspension bushes for degradation from standing, as MOT tests at this mileage may not load components enough to expose latent wear.
