2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FL60 VHB

The 2010 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 69,518 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 26 September 2024 at 67,532 miles is anomalous as the record shows no defects listed and the same-day retest passed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. Recorded mileage sits at 69,518 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,345 miles per year. The car covered only 1,986 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, then 1,874 miles to September 2024, and 1,986 miles to the 2025 test. This low, consistent accumulation points to light use with no standing gaps or sudden wear spikes. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structure in order. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity that MOT checks may not expose. The brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check for internal binding or seizing, as low-mileage cars often develop such faults through lack of use rather than wear. No recurring mechanical or structural defects appear in the DVSA data, so the C1 carries no flagged trend of worsening condition. Treat the 2024 same-day fail as a paperwork anomaly and verify the V5C against the mileage sequence before purchase.
