2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FE11 AED

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 February 2026 at 69,709 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect records over the last five years. This suggests the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures common in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between March 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 4,850 miles, indicating very light use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brake discs, long-term standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as seals and tyres, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on areas prone to affecting low-mileage city cars. A buyer should check for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as moisture can cause rust regardless of mileage. It is also worth inspecting the suspension bushes and tyre walls for cracking, as these materials perish over time rather than through use alone. Checking the age and condition of the brake fluid is essential to ensure the system has not absorbed moisture during the long intervals between tests.
