2018 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · EX67 AEL

The 2018 Citroen C1 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 42,598 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2025-02-05 (36,954 miles) and 2024-01-25 (29,206 miles) also passed without issues, though a conflicting entry on the same date shows a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recurring mechanical faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. No advisories or critical failures are recorded in the latest tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 42,598 miles over eight years equates to approximately 5,325 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and suspension. Notably, the 2023-01-26 test at 22,925 miles passed without defects, and the subsequent 2024-01-25 test at 29,206 miles showed no issues despite a conflicting failure record. The sparse data from 2024 raises questions about the accuracy of the MOT history, but the lack of recurring faults suggests no systemic deterioration. A buyer should inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluid buildup. Check the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear or dry rot, as infrequent use can accelerate degradation. Verify the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and ensure the battery is in good condition, as prolonged inactivity may have affected its longevity. The MOT records indicate no major mechanical issues, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue state.
