2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · AX17 CKP

This 2017 Citroen C1 presents an exceptionally clean MOT record. Every single annual test from June 2021 through to the most recent check in July 2025 returned a pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and, on paper, flawless. There are no recurring faults, no structural concerns, and no signs of mechanical neglect visible in the data. The recorded mileage pattern is unusually low for a nine-year-old vehicle, currently standing at 17,200 miles. That equates to roughly 1,911 miles per year. The annual increases are consistent and gradual, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. For example, the car covered just 667 miles between the June 2021 and July 2022 tests, then 1,737 miles the following year, and a larger 5,478 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This pattern suggests a car used for short, local trips rather than long-distance commuting, which is typical for a city car. Despite the clean history, a buyer should conduct a focused in-person inspection. Low annual mileage and frequent short journeys can accelerate wear on components that do not appear on an MOT pass sheet. Pay close attention to the brake discs and pads for scoring or lip formation, as under-use can lead to corrosion. Check the exhaust system for rust, particularly around the flexi pipe and back box joints. Examine all suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for cracking, as these degrade with age rather than mileage. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres for any sidewall cracking or perishing, as the car has likely stood for periods. The structural integrity appears sound, but a thorough check for corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points is still prudent given the car's age.
