2017 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · FL17 OFX

The 2017 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 33,000 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults and the upkeep pattern is consistent rather than deteriorating. Recorded mileage sits at 33,000 over roughly nine years, equating to about 3,667 miles per year, which is low for the age. The DVSA data shows 19,606 miles at the January 2022 test, 25,043 miles in January 2023, 28,871 miles in August 2024, and 33,000 by July 2025. The step from 25,043 to 28,871 reflects light annual use with no rapid accumulation. A two-day gap between the 18 January 2023 failure and the 20 January 2023 pass at identical mileage is the only anomaly; the failure carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical concern. Given the clean record, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of consumable items not always captured at test. Check tyre sidewall condition and date codes, as low-mileage cars often run aged rubber from standing. Examine brake discs and calipers for corrosion or seizure after periods of inactivity, and verify suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from limited use rather than wear. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided deferred repairs. No structural integrity, exhaust emission, or binding brake issues appear in the history. A pre-purchase check should confirm the bodywork and underbody are free of corrosion the MOT may not have flagged at this mileage.
