2021 Citroen C1 Shine 1.0L Petrol · NL21 AHZ

The 2021 Citroen C1 Shine presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its three most recent MOT tests, including the latest on 2025-11-05 at 27,788 miles. All tests from 2024-03-07 to 2025-11-05 show consistent compliance, indicating no emerging mechanical or structural issues. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though this does not preclude minor wear or hidden faults. The mileage of 27,788 miles over five years equates to approximately 5,558 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage aligns with the clean MOT history, as reduced driving frequency typically minimizes wear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension. However, prolonged inactivity could lead to issues such as dry rot in rubber parts or corrosion in unexposed areas. The gap between the 2024-11-19 test (24,104 miles) and the 2025-11-05 test (27,788 miles) spans 12 months, which may reflect extended periods of non-use, though no related defects were flagged. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components can degrade over time regardless of mileage. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural faults in the MOTs is reassuring, but visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches for rust is recommended. Additionally, checking the steering and suspension for play, and confirming the integrity of the exhaust system, would provide further assurance. The vehicle’s maintenance history suggests careful ownership, but physical scrutiny remains essential to confirm its current state.
