2017 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LC52 ABC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 42,299 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed shortly after, suggesting that minor defects are being rectified quickly by the owner rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the February 2023 test at 24,095 miles and the April 2024 test at 33,514 miles, representing nearly 10,000 miles covered in fourteen months. This low annual usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts like suspension bushes and potential corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that triggered the recent failures in 2024 and 2025. While the digital record does not list the specific defects for those failures, the immediate re-tests often indicate consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or rust and check the tyres for age-related cracking, as rubber often degrades faster than the tread wears down. Verify the structural integrity of the sills and underside to ensure hidden corrosion has developed despite the vehicle's age.
