2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FP10 SWU

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 32,252 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every MOT from 2022 through 2026 passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening or recurring mechanical faults across the five-year record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2010 vehicle. The car covered just 861 miles between the 9 March 2022 test at 31,391 miles and the 23 January 2026 test at 32,252 miles, averaging roughly 215 miles per year over that span. Such low annual accumulation, about 2,016 miles per year since new, suggests prolonged standing periods rather than regular daily driving, though the sparse and clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for issues that MOT tests may not capture on a lightly used car. Long idle periods promote perishing of rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake hoses, alongside potential corrosion on brake discs from moisture exposure. The absence of advisories means no specific structural or mechanical risks were flagged, but a physical check of underbody condition, brake binding after a short road test, and tyre sidewall cracking remains prudent given the standing time. Given the clean history and minimal mileage, the mechanical risk profile is low for a sixteen-year-old city car. Verify the odometer reading against service invoices and confirm the 2026 test certificate matches the recorded 32,252 miles before purchase.
