2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · CT16 ECV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 65,530 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an identical clean sheet from the previous year. The lack of any recorded advisories or failures across the last three tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard where mechanical and structural issues are addressed proactively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban driving profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between January 2023 at 43,820 miles and January 2026 at 65,530 miles, the car covered 21,710 miles, showing a steady increase of roughly 7,200 miles per year. This low-mile accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-distance stress on the drivetrain or suspension components, though it can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber elements compared to higher-mileage vehicles. Given the clean MOT history devoid of advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common age-related issues for this model rather than recurring faults. Check for early surface corrosion on the exhaust system and the sills, which can appear before they trigger a failure on a test. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, as low-mileage use can lead to surface oxidation. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes for cracks to ensure the age of the rubber has not perished despite the low recorded mileage.
