2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · FA16 THS

This Citroen C1 presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test conducted on 5 February 2026 at 53,786 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, confirming the car remains in full roadworthy condition. The absence of any advisories across the last five consecutive tests suggests the owner has adhered to a proactive maintenance schedule, addressing potential wear items before they reached the threshold of a formal failure or advisory. The vehicle has covered 53,786 miles over a ten-year period, averaging approximately 5,379 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent, though the record shows a notable increase in usage between September 2022 and February 2026, where the car accumulated over 22,000 miles. This shift indicates the vehicle has transitioned from light, sporadic use to more regular, daily operation. The lack of gaps in the testing history provides confidence that the car has not been subjected to long-term storage, which often leads to seized calipers, perished rubber components, or fuel system degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these are common wear points for this specific model that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. While the test history shows no recurring faults, the age of the vehicle warrants a close look at the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, particularly if the car has been parked outside for extended periods. Given the clean bill of health provided by the DVSA records, the mechanical risk appears minimal, provided the buyer confirms that the service intervals for engine oil and filter changes have been maintained alongside the annual testing requirements.
