2006 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · HN56 AGX

This Citroën C1 has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across the last five tests, including the most recent pass on 29 October 2025 at 110,660 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards, though the duplicate entry for the 2024 test—one pass and one fail at the same mileage—appears anomalous and may indicate a clerical error rather than mechanical issues. No recurring faults have been logged, and the most recent test was conducted just under nine months ago, which is standard for a vehicle of this age. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying wear; critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers will require closer inspection given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 110,660 miles over approximately 20 years equates to an average of around 5,500 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has either been lightly used or stood unused for extended periods, which could accelerate certain forms of degradation, particularly in rubber components (e.g., suspension mounts, hoses) and battery health. There are no significant gaps in MOT testing, with tests occurring annually as expected, though the 2024 duplicate raises minor doubt over the accuracy of the record. The consistent mileage increments imply no rapid degradation, but the low annual mileage may also mean some components have not been subjected to sufficient stress to reveal latent failures. Given the lack of MOT faults, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the condition of the rear coil springs and front/rear bushes, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The brakes should be assessed for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the disc surfaces, particularly if the vehicle has been stored for prolonged periods. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as the absence of MOT failures does not guarantee they have been regularly maintained. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for signs of structural corrosion, especially around the sills and subframe, given the vehicle’s age and the potential for prolonged exposure to moisture or neglect.
