2006 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · GF56 AEU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last two years. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 113,309 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately to ensure continued compliance. The clean records from the 2024 and 2023 tests suggest the vehicle has avoided significant mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 113,309 miles is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,665 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 2,118 miles covered between the November 2023 and August 2024 tests, and 6,661 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025 tests. While this low annual mileage puts less strain on the drivetrain and engine, the age of the car increases the risk of rubber component degradation, dry rot, and corrosion corrosion regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the sills and rear subframe where these models are prone to rust. Given the low mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished caused by periods of standing. Although the MOT history does not flag recurring brake or exhaust issues, a check for binding calipers or pitted discs is necessary to ensure the braking system has not seized due to infrequent use.
