2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FD60 AFK

The 2011 Citroen C1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-07-10 at 51,630 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the six-year span, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. The absence of advisories or critical failures implies the owner prioritized regular servicing, though the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into minor wear patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 51,630 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 3,442 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical 7,000–8,000 miles per year for similar-aged cars. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like tyres, fluids, and electrical systems. A notable gap of 15 months between the 2021-02-12 and 2022-05-13 MOTs raises questions about potential undetected issues during that period, though no faults were recorded in subsequent tests. The clean MOT history suggests no major mechanical or structural degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, common wear items in 15-year-old vehicles, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but visual confirmation of caliper movement and pad thickness is recommended. Corrosion in body seams or underbody panels should also be assessed, as low-mileage vehicles may develop rust if stored in damp conditions. The clean MOT record supports the car’s reliability, but physical inspection remains crucial to verify the integrity of components not tested during MOTs.
