2016 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · BD16 ABK

The 2016 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 2 July 2025 at 41,100 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from June 2021 through July 2025 show zero advisories or failures. The vehicle's history demonstrates consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Mileage accumulation reflects light annual use for a ten-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 24,755 miles at the 25 June 2021 test to 28,277 miles on 15 July 2022, then 32,266 miles on 7 July 2023, 36,671 miles on 19 July 2024, and 41,100 miles on 2 July 2025. This equates to roughly 4,100 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Such low progression suggests gentle commuting or prolonged stationary periods rather than neglected high-stress driving. The absence of recorded faults across the suspension, braking system, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity indicates previous owners addressed wear before each test. A clean sheet over five years implies disciplined servicing. Nevertheless, a buyer should physically inspect common age-related items that MOT snapshots may miss. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing caused by low-mileage standing. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion binding after idle spells. Verify underbody structural integrity for hidden rust given the vehicle's age. Conduct a live emissions reading and road test to confirm drivetrain smoothness. The documented record supports confidence, but in-person verification of consumable tyres and wiper blades remains prudent despite no historical advisories.
