2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FN60 OMU

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 81,776 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed entry with no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in September 2024 at 75,998 miles, September 2023 at 70,818 miles, and September 2022 at 66,732 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2010 vehicle. Over three years from September 2022 to September 2025 the car covered just 15,044 miles, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year against the recorded 81,776 total. The DVSA history shows no gaps between tests and no rapid accumulation, suggesting the previous keeper used the car sparingly and kept it within statutory testing windows. A clean record across five consecutive tests implies basic upkeep was maintained, though low mileage can mask deterioration from prolonged standing such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's sixteen years of age. The absence of advisories means no corrosion or structural integrity issues were flagged by testers, but standing periods common with low annual mileage can hide binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres not visible in the record. Verify the September 2025 failure reason at the test centre to confirm it was clerical. Otherwise the C1's history shows no recurring mechanical faults and warrants only standard used-car checks on wear items before purchase.
