2017 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · FP17 FVN

The 2017 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 46,599 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. The vehicle shows no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a nine-year-old car. Recorded distance rose from 17,470 miles at the October 2022 tests to 23,145 miles in October 2023, then 34,391 miles by November 2024, and 46,599 miles by November 2025. This equates to roughly 5,178 miles per year, well below the national average. The clean record across all dated entries suggests the previous owner kept the car garaged or on limited duties, with no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. The DVSA data flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns at any stage. A failed test on 21 October 2022 at 17,470 miles carries no recorded defect, pointing to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the same-day pass confirming the car was sound. Such a history implies basic upkeep was maintained rather than skipped. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage and possible long standing periods can conceal perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, or surface corrosion not visible during a brief test. Verify the condition of brake calipers for binding after storage, check fluid intervals, and confirm the bodywork underside remains free of structural rust before purchase.
