2008 Citroen C1 Rhythm HDI 1.4L Diesel · NNZ 2862

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent recorded test on 2 April 2022 at 94,624 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories noted. This follows a clean pass in February 2020 at 83,980 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2008 model, averaging approximately 5,257 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 72,559 miles in March 2018 to 94,624 miles by April 2022. While the low annual mileage suggests light usage, the gap in recorded testing between April 2022 and the current date of July 2026 is significant. This four-year lapse in official documentation means the current mechanical state and emissions compliance cannot be verified through the DVSA database. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the long period since the last recorded test. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation rather than wear-related fatigue. Focus specifically on rubber components such as suspension bushes, drive belts, and coolant hoses, which can perish from sitting idle. Given the age of the vehicle, check the underbody for structural corrosion and inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven wear. The single failure recorded in March 2019 at 78,532 miles was resolved quickly, as the vehicle passed the subsequent test in 2020. This minor hiccup does not indicate a systemic issue, but a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre tread depth is necessary to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with current standards.
