2016 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · GJ16 ABN

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 January 2026 at 89,818 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly in the last eighteen months. Between February 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 7,599 miles. However, the distance increased to 11,244 miles by January 2025, and surged further to 17,483 miles by the January 2026 test. While the overall average of 8,982 miles per year is typical for a ten year old vehicle, the recent spike in usage suggests a change in driving patterns or a more demanding commute. The absence of advisories or failures across the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded issues regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The failure recorded on 31 January 2025 was resolved on the same day with no defects listed, which often points to a clerical error or a minor rectification performed on site. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear items that the MOT does not always flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Given the recent high-mileage usage, check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion and check the oil condition to ensure the service intervals kept pace with the increased annual mileage.
