CITROEN C12016 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2016 Citroen C1 shows a broadly roadworthy status following its latest MOT pass on 4 December 2025 at 55,486 miles, with the tester recording no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history remains stable. The only aberration is a failure logged on 19 December 2024 at 48,385 miles, also with no defects cited, which punctuates an otherwise clean sequence of passes from 2 December 2022 through 20 December 2023 and the subsequent retest pass the same day in 2024. Mileage accumulation sits low for a decade-old vehicle. The record opens at 33,181 miles on 2 December 2022 and climbs to 41,546 by 20 December 2023, then 48,385 on 19 December 2024, reaching 55,486 at the final test. That equates to roughly 7,400 miles per year across the documented span, marginally above the lifetime average of 5,549 but still gentle use. No tests exist before late 2022, leaving the first six years of odometer history unverified and suggesting either gaps in record-keeping or lapsed early testing. Low annual distances imply lighter urban commuting, yet prolonged standing can stiffen suspension bushes and hide rust from the test lane. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements despite the absence of advisories. The tester flagged no corrosion, yet sill and subframe rust can evade the lane; examine those areas closely. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking after ten winters. Brake discs and calipers deserve measurement even though binding or wear was not noted. The unexplained December 2024 failure with no defects recorded requires the buyer to retrieve the exact DVSA refusal cause before committing funds, as administrative or documentation issues differ from mechanical fault.
