2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FN62 NLF

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 93,270 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories across the 2023 to 2025 records. A minor administrative anomaly appears in the October 2025 and October 2024 entries, where a fail was logged at 93,266 and 88,138 miles respectively on the same day as the pass, yet no defects were cited; this points to a paperwork or retest procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows 84,913 miles at the 11 October 2023 test, rising to 88,141 miles by 10 October 2024 and 93,270 miles by 6 October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,200 miles per year over the logged period, below the 6,662-mile average for the car's life, suggesting lighter recent use. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear between tests; the history is sparse but clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns ever raised. Given the absence of any flagged defects, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of consumable items not always captured at test. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as well as wiper blade wear, since these are routine items the MOT may pass one month and fail the next. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 warrants a request for the original test certificates to confirm no suppressed advisory existed. Structural integrity and mechanical components show no recorded deterioration across the three years. The buyer should nonetheless verify underside condition for rust on sills and subframes, and confirm the clutch and gearbox operate smoothly given the car's age. The clean record implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, though the dual logging on test days leaves a small question over workshop process rather than vehicle condition.
