2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FN60 RXY

The Citroen C1 presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 10 October 2023 at 162,123 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows a peculiar pattern of immediate pass-fail-repass cycles that warrant scrutiny rather than confidence. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 10,133 miles per year for a 16-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 143,850 miles at the September 2021 tests, 154,713 miles by September 2022, and 162,123 miles by October 2023. The annual increments of roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles indicate consistent use without standing periods or excessive wear. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries across three years and no advisories logged at any stage. The failed tests on 9 September 2021 and 9 October 2023 both recorded zero defects, with passes issued the following day at identical mileages. This suggests administrative or documentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, but a buyer should verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm no suppressed defects exist. Given the clean advisory history, previous owners likely maintained basic consumable standards. In person, a buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related degradation, and confirm brake disc and caliper condition given the high total mileage. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt a 162,000-mile Citroen from expected wear on exhaust emissions components and steering joints.
