CITROEN C12013 · 1.0L Petrol

The Citroen C1 presents a recorded MOT history that is mechanically clean but stale. In the most recent test on 13 December 2022 at 22,272 miles, the vehicle passed with no defects noted, yet the same day shows a failure entry carrying no recorded defects, mirroring an identical anomaly on 15 December 2020 at 20,904 miles. Across the 2020 to 2022 window the car cleared each annual examination without advisories, so the maintenance trend reads as stable rather than worsening. However, with no test logged since December 2022 and today being 19 July 2026, the current roadworthiness cannot be substantiated from the available data. Mileage accumulation sits far below typical for a 2013 hatchback. The records chart 20,904 miles in December 2020, 21,668 miles in December 2021, and 22,272 miles in December 2022, equating to roughly 600 to 800 miles per year. Such low annual distances imply gentle use, probably short local journeys or extended garage storage. The abrupt halt in testing after 2022 suggests the car has stood unused for over three and a half years. Previous keepers appear to have skipped routine consumable replacement through disuse rather than neglect of active wear items. A buyer must treat the clean sheet as historical only. No tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns, but long stationary periods degrade components without mileage. Inspect the coil springs for fracture, check calipers for binding after idle, and scrutinise tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots. Underbody corrosion may develop where moisture trapped during storage; examine sills and subframes. The twin fail/pass logs on same dates warrant a DVSA record check to rule out clerical error before purchase.
