2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · NV64 AEW

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on July 2, 2025 at 97,274 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance compared to previous years where the vehicle required immediate repairs to pass testing. The transition from consecutive failures to a year of clean passes suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified mechanical issues and ensuring the car meets minimum road safety standards. At 97,274 miles over 12 years, this C1 averages approximately 8,106 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the 2023 and June 2024 tests, and another 2,455 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025. This steady accumulation is generally preferable for older components than long periods of standing, which often lead to rubber perish and accelerated corrosion in the braking system. While the most recent records are clean, the historical failures in 2023 and 2024 highlight that the vehicle is prone to specific mechanical lapses. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these are common points of failure on this model at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, close attention to structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is necessary to ensure that the recent clean passes are not masking underlying rust that could develop later. Checking the brakes for binding calipers or thin discs would also be prudent to ensure the previous failures have been permanently rectified.
