2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · B17 DAF

The 2014 Citroen C1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its MOT history, with all five consecutive tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 41,284 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no recurring problems in critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage of 41,284 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 3,440 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual mileage. This low usage aligns with the regular, annual MOT tests, which show gradual mileage increases of approximately 2,000–3,000 miles per year. No gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage are evident, reinforcing the impression of consistent, light use. However, the prolonged periods between tests at lower mileages could hint at potential dry-running components, such as suspension bushes or coil springs, which may require closer inspection. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system, as low mileage can sometimes mask corrosion in hidden areas. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear remains prudent. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out rust or fatigue damage that might not appear in standard MOT checks. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance history is reassuring, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of latent issues.
