2015 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MC15 AAN

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test on 16 February 2026 at 24,090 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. A concurrent failure entry on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects listed suggests a clerical or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. The maintenance trend is stable, evidenced by clean passes in January 2025 at 19,020 miles, January 2024 at 13,712 miles, and February 2023 at 9,861 miles. The mileage progression shows light annual use consistent with the vehicle's age. In the February 2023 test at 9,861 miles, the odometer stood low for an eight-year-old car. By the January 2024 examination at 13,712 miles, the car had covered 3,851 miles over eleven months. The January 2025 pass at 19,020 miles and the February 2026 pass at 24,090 miles reflect steady yearly additions of roughly 5,000 miles. Such low accumulation implies gentle commuting or extended storage periods, though the absence of pre-2023 records limits longitudinal analysis. Despite the clean advisory history, a buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing given the car's eleven years, as rubber components degrade with time irrespective of mileage. The tester recorded no binding calipers or worn brake discs, yet brake fluid age and pad condition warrant verification. A buyer should check structural integrity for corrosion on sills and subframes, particularly if the car stood unused for long spells. The duplicated test outcome on 16 February 2026 demands scrutiny of the V5C and DVSA paperwork to confirm the failure cause was non-mechanical. Prior owners maintained basic statutory testing but the sparse defect list offers no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond mandated checks. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to assess consumables such as tyres and wiper blades not flagged in the records.
