2008 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FN58 WJV

The 2008 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 53,806 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. Prior passes on 12 August 2024 at 52,419 miles and 9 September 2022 at 48,147 miles also logged no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Mileage remains low for an eighteen year old car. The record shows 48,147 miles in September 2022, rising to 49,958 miles by August 2023, 52,419 miles in August 2024, and 53,806 miles in August 2025. This equates to roughly 1,200 to 2,400 miles per year, confirming very light use. The sparse history between 2022 and 2025 contains no consumable wear flags such as tyres or brake discs, and the only anomaly is a failed test on 22 August 2023 at 49,958 miles with no defects listed, reversed two days later by a pass at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface rust that a short MOT road test will not always record. The brake calipers and discs warrant physical measurement despite no binding or excessive wear being noted in the official entries. The absence of recurring advisories points to a previous owner who kept basic upkeep current, though the 2023 duplicate test shows the record is not entirely linear. Given the clean trailing twelve months and modest annual use, the C1 sits as a low-risk used purchase subject to a standard pre-sale mechanical check.
