2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FL59 YSP

The most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 passed at 144,373 mi with no recorded defects, indicating the car is currently road‑legal. The only significant issue in the record was the 18 June 2025 MOT, where all four tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and showing cracking, and three lamp items (off‑side registration plate lamp, near‑side registration plate lamp and off‑side headlamp aim) were recorded as faulty. Those defects were not repeated in later tests, suggesting the tyres and lamps were likely replaced or repaired before the 2026 test. Overall the MOT trend is stable – three clean passes (2022, 2023, 2026) surrounding a single failed test in 2025. There is no evidence of a worsening pattern beyond the tyre wear that was addressed. At roughly 8,500 mi per year, the mileage is typical for a 17‑year‑old vehicle. It does not point to heavy abuse, but it also does not guarantee low wear; consumables such as brakes, suspension bushings and drivetrain components should still be inspected for age‑related deterioration. First‑hand checks should focus on: Tyre condition – confirm tread depth and look for sidewall cracking or uneven wear that could hint at alignment or suspension issues. All exterior lights – verify registration plate lamps and headlamp aim are functional and correctly aligned. Basic mechanical health – listen for unusual noises from the suspension, brakes and drivetrain, and check for any fluid leaks.
