2013 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CU13 LBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in August 2025 at 74,937 miles identified only a defective central windscreen wiper blade. This follows a failure in August 2024 where the tester flagged an inoperative hazard warning switch and a worn offside rear tyre. While these are minor mechanical issues, they indicate that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure. At thirteen years old, the recorded mileage of 74,937 miles represents an average of approximately 5,764 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests lighter travel, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles covered between tests from 2022 to 2025. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and dry seals which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should inspect the suspension and alignment specifically, as the 2024 failure for an offside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. You must also verify the hazard warning switch functionality and the wiper assembly to ensure the previous failures were fully rectified. Given the age of the Citroen C1, a physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these areas are prone to rust even on low-mileage vehicles.
