2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · GF12 AEB

The 2012 Citroen C1 holds a currently roadworthy status, passing the most recent DVSA test on 19 February 2026 at 57,028 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with three consecutive passes from February 2023 to February 2025 showing zero advisories. The failure on 12 February 2026 at 56,875 miles carries no logged defects, pointing to a non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault, and the car passed seven days later. Mileage relative to the 14-year age is low, averaging roughly 4,073 miles per year. In the February 2023 test at 50,317 miles the C1 passed clean, then covered just 825 miles to February 2024 at 51,142 miles and 1,269 miles to February 2025 at 52,411 miles. The jump to 57,028 miles by February 2026 adds 4,617 miles, a slight rise yet still light use. The record lacks entries before 2023, so earlier owner care remains unseen, but the unbroken recent passes imply steady basic upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of components that low mileage and standing can hide. Rubber suspension bushes may harden or crack, coil springs could corrode, and brake discs might show surface rust with calipers binding after disuse. Check structural integrity underneath for sill and subframe corrosion, verify exhaust emissions, and scrutinise tyre sidewalls for age cracking. The absence of recorded faults does not remove the need for physical appraisal given the vehicle's vintage.
