2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FL60 YWH

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 March 2026 at 82,280 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The test prior, on 26 February 2026 at 82,261 miles, returned a failure with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative outcome rather than a mechanical fault. Every annual test from March 2023 through March 2026 recorded a pass with no advisories, indicating no recurring wear items or structural concerns were flagged by testers. At roughly 5,142 miles per year, the 2010 car shows low use for its age. Mileage moved from 71,234 in March 2023 to 74,644 by March 2024, then 77,273 in March 2025, and 82,280 by March 2026. The annual increments sit near 3,000 to 5,000 miles, with a slightly higher jump in the final year. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear test record. Low-mileage cars of this era often sit unused for weeks, which accelerates perishing of suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seizing through lack of movement. The absence of advisories means testers found no corrosion on structural members or excessive play in steering joints, but standing moisture can hide early rust on sills and subframes not visible at test. Verify the February 2026 failure reason with DVSA, as a no-defect fail is unusual and may reflect a documentation error rather than a fault. Check brake disc condition and handbrake travel in person, and confirm the cambelt interval for the engine is met by age if not mileage. The clean history supports a sound purchase, provided the car has been stored dry and started regularly.
