2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · EX67 AEE

The 2017 Citroen C1 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 29,382 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance and absence of critical failures. No advisories or safety-critical issues were flagged across the entire history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. The mileage progression shows regular annual usage, with 18,989 miles in 2021 rising to 29,382 by 2025—a steady 5,000–6,000 miles per year. This pattern avoids abrupt spikes or extended inactivity, reducing risks of fluid degradation or component stiffness. However, the total mileage remains below average for a nine-year-old vehicle, which may indicate periods of limited use or storage. While this could preserve wear on consumables, it also warrants scrutiny of static-related issues like rubber component aging or corrosion in seldom-used systems. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these are not assessed in MOT tests but could show wear from infrequent driving. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low mileage sometimes masks gradual deterioration. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity—untested in MOTs—deserve attention to rule out hidden corrosion or damage. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but the vehicle’s low mileage necessitates a thorough mechanical evaluation beyond standard checks.
