2018 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · FN18 OKW

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 48,418 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a minor administrative failure in 2024. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,000 miles per year against an eight-year-old car, which is typical for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 29,189 miles in May 2023, 35,831 miles by April 2024, 43,256 miles in April 2025, and 48,418 miles in April 2026. The only anomaly is the duplicate 15 April 2024 entry, where the car failed at 35,813 miles then passed at 35,831 miles on the same day with no defects listed, indicating a paperwork or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any test. Given the absence of flagged wear items, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable components not always caught in a pass. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as the low annual mileage suggests the car may have stood idle for periods, raising the risk of seized handbrake mechanisms or surface corrosion on rotors. Examine the underside for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from light use. The clean MOT record implies the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, but low mileage alone does not confirm drivetrain health or hidden intermittent faults.
