2008 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FN58 OVP

The 2008 Citroen C1 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 105,921 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures logged by DVSA. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for an eighteen-year-old car. The record shows 85,044 miles in February 2022, rising to 89,655 in February 2023, 92,344 in February 2024, 98,738 in February 2025, and 105,921 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 5,200 to 7,200 miles added each year, averaging near 5,884 annually. The low and consistent accumulation points to light private use rather than neglect, though prolonged standing between short trips can age rubber components and brake hardware without showing in the test data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and rear axle, since the MOT entries list no corrosion advisories but a car of this age and mixed storage can hide structural rust outside the test bay. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related stiffness or scoring that a clean pass does not capture. Given the absent advisories, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic roadworthy standard with no skipped tests. Verify the cambelt interval and fluid history in person, as these consumable items fall outside MOT scope yet govern long-term reliability on a low-mileage 1.0-litre unit.
