2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · KV12 FFN

The vehicle passed its last MOT on 12 September 2022 at 37 874 miles with no defects recorded. Prior tests show a pattern of occasional minor faults that were repaired before the next pass, indicating a stable maintenance routine rather than a worsening trend. The most recent clear result suggests the car has been kept in roadworthy condition up to that point. The car is fourteen years old but has covered only 37 874 miles, giving an average of roughly 2 700 miles per year. Between July 2015 and July 2016 the odometer jumped from 13 681 miles to 24 591 miles, an increase of about 10 900 miles in twelve months. The following test in June 2017 shows a lower reading of 20 686 miles, which appears inconsistent with the earlier mileage and may reflect a recording error. From September 2018 onward the mileage rises steadily, reaching 31 848 miles in September 2020, 34 842 miles in September 2021 and 37 874 miles in September 2022. Overall the low annual usage suggests long periods of storage or light use. A buyer should examine the front tyres for uneven wear and sufficient tread depth, paying particular attention to the offside side where repeated advisories noted edge wear. Check the rear tyres for any cracking or perishing that could indicate ageing rubber. Inspect the front brake pads to ensure they are well above the minimum thickness, as earlier tests recorded pads below 1.5 mm. Verify that the offside mirror glass is intact and securely fitted, since a damaged mirror caused a failure in 2020. Test the windscreen washers and wipers for proper clearance, as a wiper fault led to a failure in 2017. Look for any signs of corrosion on the body or underseal, although the MOT history does not list structural advisories. Finally, confirm the odometer reading matches the service history and watch for any sudden jumps that could suggest tampering.
