2006 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CE06 ACU

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 7 October 2025 at 122,225 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available five-year record is stable, showing consecutive annual passes and no advisories on wear items. The solitary failure on 16 October 2024 at 115,647 miles listed no defects, and a subsequent pass two days later at 115,652 miles confirms the vehicle's mechanical condition remained sound throughout. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a two-decade-old hatchback. The odometer advanced from 104,793 miles at the 20 October 2022 test to 109,719 miles by 11 October 2023, then to 115,647 miles by 16 October 2024, and finally 122,225 miles by October 2025. Annual increments of roughly five to six thousand miles reflect gentle, consistent motoring rather than harsh high-speed workload. The supplied record lacks entries before 2022, so earlier care cannot be assessed, but the recent pattern implies the previous owner avoided both prolonged standing and excessive wear. Despite the clean sheet, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. The 2006 chassis will warrant close checks for structural corrosion, particularly on sills and subframes, while suspension bushes and coil springs may exhibit fatigue unseen in an MOT bay. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and binding given the car's 122k mileage. The unexplained fail with no defects suggests verifying all documentation and confirming no outstanding recalls. Overall, the evidence points to a lightly used, well-maintained example with no recurring mechanical faults. Prospective owners should budget for consumables typical of a 20-year-old vehicle, but the test history gives no signal of worsening condition.
