2017 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FJ17 SNV

This Citroën C1 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 26 June 2025 confirming no defects and a clean pass. The absence of advisories or failings across all five tests—spanning 2021 to 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical or structural issues have been formally recorded. While this suggests the vehicle has been kept within DVSA’s minimum standards, the gap between the last MOT and today (21 August 2026) exceeds the legal limit of 12 months, meaning the test is now overdue. Buyers should prioritise an immediate MOT to verify current compliance, particularly for components like brake wear, tyre condition, and emissions, which degrade over time. The recorded mileage of 77,626 miles aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,625 miles annually. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity in the available data, though the earliest MOT in this record dates back to September 2021, leaving a gap of nearly a year before the June 2022 test. This irregularity could imply either inconsistent record-keeping or a brief period of non-use, though it does not necessarily correlate with mechanical neglect. The steady mileage suggests consumable items such as brakes, suspension bushes, and tyres may be approaching their expected service intervals, warranting closer inspection. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the most critical areas for a buyer to examine in person would be the suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The brakes, though never formally failed, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, warped discs, or binding calipers, as these conditions often develop incrementally without being MOT-critical until severe. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns are also essential, as the absence of MOT failures in this area could mask underlying issues like improper alignment or underinflation. Finally, a thorough inspection of the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion—common in this class of vehicle—is advisable, as structural integrity is not routinely tested during MOTs until significant deterioration occurs.
