2021 Citroen C1 Shine 1.0L Petrol · CE71 DVC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 September 2025 at 16,879 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from September 2024, indicating that the vehicle remains in good mechanical and structural condition throughout its recent testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,376 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 14,188 miles and the 2025 test at 16,879 miles, the car covered only 2,691 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical stress, which typically results in reduced wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies compared to higher-mile counterparts. Since the MOT record shows no failures or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Specifically, examine the brake discs for flat spotting or surface corrosion which can occur when a car sits stationary for long periods. Check the tyre sidewalls for age cracking or dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verify the fluid levels and engine condition to ensure that infrequent use has not led to oil degradation or seal leaks.
