2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · PK60 AAZ

The Citroën C1 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five tests, with the most recent MOT on 18 December 2025 at 89,294 miles passing without any defects. This suggests the vehicle has been reliably compliant with UK roadworthiness standards over the past year, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying issues that may not have been detected during testing. The most notable anomaly is the duplicate entry for December 2022, where the vehicle was tested twice at 57,098 miles—once passing and once failing—though no defects were recorded in either instance. This could indicate a clerical error or a rare oversight in the testing process, but it does not imply mechanical failure. Overall, the trend remains stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions in the most recent tests. The recorded mileage of 89,294 miles over approximately 16 years—roughly 5,581 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests spans 12 months with 7,668 miles accumulated, while the 2024-2025 interval covers 12,753 miles. This inconsistency in mileage accumulation could imply the vehicle was either stored for extended periods or driven sporadically, which may have contributed to uneven wear on components like suspension bushes or tyre tread. The lack of advisories or defects in recent tests does not negate the need for a thorough inspection of areas prone to stagnation-related deterioration, such as wheel bearings or fluid levels. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are common points of failure in older Citroën models. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee these have been maintained, and dry-rotted or cracked suspension parts can compromise handling and structural integrity. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, particularly if the vehicle has experienced periods of disuse, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant close scrutiny, as the vehicle has failed twice on tread in the past (though not in the most recent tests), indicating a history of neglect in this area. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust development in critical load-bearing areas.
