2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FL11 HXG

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its inspections. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 106,695 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2023, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. Between the September 2023 test at 99,030 miles and the August 2025 test at 106,695 miles, the car covered 7,665 miles over nearly two years. This low annual usage indicates the vehicle has not been subject to heavy commercial wear, though the 2023 failure on 11 September followed by an immediate pass the next day suggests a minor, quickly rectified defect that the tester did not detail in the final summary. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus on age-related degradation not always captured in a basic test. The lack of advisories over three years is unusual for a 15-year-old Citroen C1 and warrants a physical check of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Inspect the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment or stress fractures. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not sticking, as low-mileage city cars often suffer from binding brakes. Verify the service history for oil changes and coolant flushes to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic safety checks of the MOT. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary risk is deferred maintenance on consumables rather than systemic mechanical failure.
