2016 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · DP16 CVU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 12 July 2025 with 117,489 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved clean passes following initial failures. The absence of recorded defects or lingering advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the previous owner was proactive enough to rectify any issues immediately to ensure a passing result. The mileage profile is consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old city car, averaging approximately 11,750 miles per annum. Between the July 2023 test at 79,401 miles and the July 2024 test at 97,703 miles, the vehicle covered 18,302 miles in a single year, representing a significant spike in usage. However, the usage returned to a more standard interval of 19,786 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test, indicating consistent wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension assembly and braking system, as the high mileage accelerates the wear on rubber bushes and hydraulic components. While the record shows no recurring mechanical failures, the repeated failures prior to passing suggest the vehicle may have suffered from minor consumable issues that required immediate attention. Given the age, checking the condition of the exhaust system and the state of the brake discs is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion or thinning exists beyond what the MOT tester captures.
