2008 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FE08 RVO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 16 June 2025 at 54,133 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to March 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,007 miles per year. Between March 2023 and June 2025, the odometer rose from 44,385 to 54,133 miles, confirming a steady but light usage pattern. A brief anomaly occurred in June 2024 where the vehicle failed and passed on consecutive days at 48,248 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. Low mileage on a vehicle of this age often introduces specific risks that MOT tests may not fully capture. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system for signs of seizing or binding calipers and check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by long periods of standing. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, can perish due to age regardless of the low mileage. The absence of structural corrosion or suspension advisories across the last three years is positive for a Citroen C1. However, a physical inspection should still verify the integrity of the underbody and sills. Given the light usage, checking the fluid levels and the age of the engine oil is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged inactivity.
