2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · BT64 TNK

The current roadworthiness status of this Citroen C1 is stable, with the vehicle successfully passing its most recent MOT on August 1, 2025, at 45,580 miles. While the car required a re-test in both 2024 and 2025 to rectify lighting failures, these issues represent minor electrical maintenance rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The pattern of failing initial tests due to simple bulb or beam alignment errors suggests a lack of pre-test preparation by the owner, yet the underlying structural and drivetrain integrity remains uncompromised by major defects. With an average annual usage of approximately 3,800 miles over its 12-year lifespan, the vehicle shows signs of light, intermittent use. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, rising from 31,843 miles in August 2023 to 45,580 miles by August 2025. This low-mileage profile is generally favourable for the engine and gearbox, though it necessitates a careful check for components that degrade through age rather than wear, such as perished rubber seals, suspension bushings, and potential corrosion on brake lines that may sit idle for long periods. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the condition of the tyres and braking system, as the 2023 test flagged cracking on all four tyres and wear on the front brake discs. Although these items passed, the recurring nature of tyre degradation suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time parked in outdoor environments. Verify the current tread depth and ensure the discs show no signs of heavy scoring or oxidation. Given the repeated headlamp and stop lamp failures, a thorough check of the electrical connections and light housings is advisable to ensure no underlying wiring harness issues exist.
