2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FH12 FOA

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 79,699 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 18 September 2024 at 75,334 miles. The only blemish in the record is a failure on 12 September 2024 at 75,200 miles, reversed by a pass six days later with no defects listed on either entry, which suggests an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a serious mechanical fault. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 14-year-old vehicle. From 61,500 miles at the 15 September 2022 test to 67,905 miles in September 2023, then 75,334 miles by September 2024, the car averaged roughly 5,700 miles per year overall. The gap between the September 2024 pass and the February 2026 test shows only 4,365 miles added in seventeen months. Low annual mileage implies reduced wear on consumables such as brake discs, clutch, and suspension bushes, though prolonged standing can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unnoticed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record contains no advisory data to confirm freedom from rust on sills or subframes. The repeated clean passes with zero advisories mean no recurring suspension, braking, or exhaust emissions faults are evidenced, but the 2024 failure with no stated defect warrants a check of the test centre documentation. Given the low mileage and clean history, the previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse advisory record limits insight into worn tyres or wiper blades replaced outside the test.
