2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FD11 OUG

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 38,769 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 38,767 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was promptly retested and cleared. Recorded mileage sits at 38,769 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 2,585 miles per year. The history shows steady low use: 25,341 miles on 19 April 2023, 30,646 on 10 November 2023, 33,746 on 16 October 2024, and 38,769 on 30 October 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest light use and basic statutory compliance, though sparse commentary means hidden wear is not ruled out. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks corrosion on structural members and exhaust components through lack of movement. The absence of recorded advisories does not certify freedom from worn tyres or degraded rubber mountings. Verify the 30 October 2025 failure reason at the testing station, as the DVSA line shows no defects yet a reject. Confirm service history independently. The C1's low miles imply gentle ownership, but fifteen years will have aged seals, fluids, and steering gaiters regardless of the odometer.
