2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · CV63 EHO

The 2014 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 58,887 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 15 July 2024 at 57,242 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record, indicating consistent basic compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The odometer reflects low annual use for a twelve-year-old car. From the 27 June 2022 test at 48,104 miles, the car covered only 4,490 miles to the 29 June 2023 test at 52,594 miles, then 4,648 miles to July 2024, and a mere 1,645 miles to July 2025. This averages roughly 4,900 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen despite clean MOT outcomes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizing, as low-mileage cars left idle often suffer from stiffening joints and surface rust on structural members not caught in a pass-with-no-defects test. The July 2024 failure at 57,241 miles with no defects logged points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate re-test pass confirms no lasting concern. Given the absent advisories, previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline without neglect of tyres or consumables. The clean record offers reasonable assurance, but pre-purchase checks on underbody corrosion and brake disc condition remain prudent for a vehicle of this age and low usage profile.
