2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · KP16 KBO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 at 53,325 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previous minor issues have been addressed. This follows a period of clean passes over the last five years, suggesting the car has been maintained without significant recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles annually. Between November 2021 and November 2024, the car covered 13,601 miles, with a further 7,034 miles recorded in the year leading to the 2025 test. This low-usage pattern suggests short-distance city driving, which typically places less strain on the drivetrain and brake components, though it can sometimes lead to the aging of rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should pay attention to the advisory from November 2024 at 46,291 miles, where the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres for cracking or perishing. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods, as the rubber dries out despite sufficient tread depth. While the 2025 test passed without defects, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure the perishing has not reached a critical stage. Given the low annual mileage, the inspection should also focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and brake discs, which can suffer from age and corrosion rather than wear. The absence of recorded structural corrosion or brake efficiency failures in the history is a positive indicator of the chassis integrity, but checking for surface rust on the sills and underbody remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
