2007 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · EY57 YYV

The vehicle's MOT history indicates a stable maintenance trend with no significant mechanical degradation reported in recent years. The most recent test on 22 December 2023 at 117,243 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful retest on 15 November 2022 at 110,484 miles, which corrected a failure recorded during the same session. The absence of recurring advisories suggests the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age and type. The record shows a steady progression from 103,253 miles in November 2021 to 117,243 miles by late 2023. This represents an average of approximately 6,995 miles per year over that two-year period, which aligns with the overall lifetime average of 6,171 miles per year. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has not been subject to extreme periods of standing or excessive high-speed motorway running. Because the MOT record is notably clean, there are no specific mechanical trends to flag from the official data. However, the lack of advisories in the last three years does not account for the condition of consumables or age-related wear that occurs between tests. A physical inspection should focus on the underside of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and subframe, which is common for vehicles of this era. The buyer should also examine the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and bushes, and check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox. While the MOT history shows no issues with braking performance or emissions, a manual check of the brake discs for uneven wear and the tyre tread depth is recommended to ensure the vehicle meets standard safety expectations.
