2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FP09 XJO

The Citroen C1 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 21 October 2025 at 143,619 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, as every pass and fail shows a clean defect sheet. The twin entries on 21 October 2025, one fail and one pass at identical mileage, indicate an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 143,619 miles against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 8,448 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record moves from 128,908 miles at the October 2023 test to 140,515 miles on the failed October 2024 test, then 140,546 at the November 2024 pass, and 143,619 by October 2025. Annual accumulation is moderate with no sudden spikes. The sparse five-entry history shows no advisories, suggesting either light reporting or genuine absence of flagged wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's seventeen-year age and high mileage. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes commonly escapes MOT advisories on older city cars until advanced. The clean sheets do not certify component life remaining. The repeated zero-defect fails imply paperwork or presentation issues rather than neglected mechanics. Previous keepers likely maintained basic test compliance. Verify service records and inspect underside rust before purchase.
