2018 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · DC18 DXY

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 35,164 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,400 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, a low figure for the age. The record shows steady, incremental use: 17,937 miles in June 2021, rising to 21,922 by June 2022, 25,794 by June 2023, 30,748 by June 2024, and 35,164 by June 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean sheet across every entry indicates the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and the car avoided advisory flags on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the flawless history. Low mileage with long standing periods between short trips can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop flat spots, and underbody corrosion to start unseen. The MOT tester recorded no structural integrity concerns, yet the test examines only visible, presented faults. Check the condition of brake discs for rust pitting, inspect coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue from infrequent cycling, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under real load. The documented care pattern suggests a low-risk purchase, but hands-on verification of consumables remains sound practice.
