2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · AU14 LLT

The Citroen C1 presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 123,476 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with a consistent pattern of passes across the last three full annual tests, indicates a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults currently flagged by the DVSA. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, showing no signs of deterioration or emerging systemic issues. The mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a 2014 city car. Between the April 2024 pass at 100,985 miles and the April 2026 pass at 123,476 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 22,491 miles over two years, averaging around 11,245 miles annually. This sits comfortably within normal usage parameters for a small urban runabout. The two failed tests on 16 April 2026 and 12 April 2024 both recorded no defects, suggesting these were likely administrative or procedural retests rather than mechanical failures, which further supports a consistent care pattern. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. At 123,476 miles, consumable components such as tyres, brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes are well within expected wear intervals. The front lower suspension arms and anti-roll bar links on C1s of this era are known to develop play over time, so a push-and-pull wheel check is advisable. Examine the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the rear beam axle and sills, as these small hatchbacks often endure urban salt exposure. The 1.0-litre petrol engine should be cold-started to listen for timing chain rattle, a known concern on higher-mileage units. A short road test will confirm whether the clutch bite point is normal, the gearbox shifts cleanly without synchro wear, and the handbrake holds firmly on a gradient. Given the absence of any advisories or failures in the official record, this Citroen C1 appears to have been responsibly maintained. The clean data supports confidence, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent at this mileage to verify the condition of wear items not always fully captured by the MOT.
