CITROEN C12015 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2015 Citroen C1 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT result, which was a pass on 2025-08-29 at 20,589 miles. However, a prior failure on 2025-08-19 at 20,572 miles—just 10 days earlier—without recorded defects raises questions about the consistency of testing or potential minor issues unresolved. The absence of defects in both tests suggests the vehicle met minimum standards, but the repeated failures without explanation indicate a need for closer scrutiny of maintenance practices. The vehicle’s mileage of 20,589 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 1,872 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, brake system, and suspension. Notably, the mileage increased by only 952 miles between the 2024-08-19 pass (19,637 miles) and the 2025-08-29 pass, suggesting minimal wear. However, the lack of detailed defect records in earlier tests limits insight into potential hidden issues. A buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as low mileage can lead to seized components. Suspension bushes and coil springs may also require checking for stiffness or dry rot due to inactivity. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody should be assessed, as prolonged storage increases rust risk. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s low mileage and recent testing anomalies warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
