2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · GK09 TEO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 March 2026 at 84,795 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While the history shows two failures in 2024 and 2025, the immediate subsequent passes following those failures suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the last two years with 3,753 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,249 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-speed use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based seals and seized brake components due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, as low-mileage older cars are prone to hidden corrosion in areas that collect road salt. Because the MOT records show no specific reasons for the previous failures, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no dry cracking has occurred. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the timing belt and coolant hoses is essential, as these components perish based on time regardless of the low mileage recorded.
