2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FL60 HMX

The 2010 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 55,039 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since September 2022. Recorded mileage sits at 55,039 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,440 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low use: 42,502 miles in September 2022, 46,237 in September 2023, 49,766 in September 2024, and 55,039 in September 2025. A single anomaly appears on 20 September 2024 when the car failed at 49,763 miles, yet the tester logged no defects and the vehicle passed the next day at 49,766 miles, suggesting an administrative or equipment error rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Low annual mileage and the one-day 2024 failure mean the car may have stood unused for extended periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and hidden corrosion beneath sills or subframes not exposed during the tests. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for age-related degradation. Verify the exhaust emissions and undertray structural integrity in person, as a clean MOT history on a lightly used 16-year-old vehicle does not guarantee freedom from moisture-driven rust or degraded flexible couplings.
