2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CP58 NBA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on January 31, 2026, resulted in a double entry—one pass and one fail—both at 117,774 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the test centre’s system error rather than a mechanical issue, though the lack of any failures or advisories over the past year indicates no recurring structural or safety-critical problems. The previous clean passes in February 2025 and January 2024 further confirm the vehicle has not experienced persistent faults in brakes, suspension, or emissions. However, the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear; a buyer should verify the integrity of components like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers, as these are common failure points in this age range. The recorded mileage of 117,774 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 6,928 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with increments of around 850–1,600 miles per year, suggesting consistent use rather than neglect or prolonged storage. The most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though the duplicate entries warrant confirmation that no mechanical issues were overlooked. Given the lack of advisories or failures in recent tests, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be on high-wear items: the suspension system for worn or cracked bushes and degraded coil springs, particularly in the rear where binding calipers were not flagged but could develop over time. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as older vehicles often suffer from rust-induced binding. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as this model is prone to structural weakening. The engine bay should be examined for fluid leaks, particularly around the power steering and cooling systems, which are common failure points in this age range.
