2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SL14 AAE

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of passing results over the last four years. The most recent test on November 5 2025 at 51,465 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that showed no specific faults. This lack of advisories across the last four tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters despite the age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,289 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 36,684 miles and the November 2025 test at 51,465 miles, the car covered 14,781 miles. This consistent low-mileage typically implies less strain on the engine and drivetrain components, though low-frequency driving can sometimes lead to rubber-based component degradation, such as perished suspension bushes or seized brake calipers due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than mileage-related fatigue. Given the clean MOT record, the chassis should be checked for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, although the tester has not flagged structural issues. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven wear, as low usage can cause rust to form on the rotors. Additionally examine the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age often affects rubber compound before tread depth becomes sufficient.
