2020 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · DA70 AWH

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test passed on 21 October 2025 at 27,593 miles with no defects recorded. Prior to that pass, the same-day test on 21 October 2025 at 27,592 miles failed with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has cleared every valid roadworthiness examination without advisories since first tested. Annual mileage sits low for a six-year-old car. The record shows 16,743 miles at the 9 October 2023 test, rising to 21,256 miles by 16 October 2024 and 27,593 miles by October 2025. That averages roughly 4,600 miles per year. The clean history with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions flags across all entries suggests light use and consistent annual testing, though the sparse three-pass span gives limited insight into component wear between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage with probable periods of standing can allow tyre sidewall cracking, seized handbrake mechanisms, and flat-spotted tyres to develop unseen by the MOT. The same-day fail with zero defects points to a data entry error at the testing station, not a fault, but confirms the buyer should verify the V5C and test certificate match. Given no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity were ever raised, the mechanical risk appears minimal for age. Pre-purchase checks should focus on underbody corrosion, brake binding after standing, and fluid condition rather than worn consumables flagged in the history.
