2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LD60 VPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 25 September 2025 at 59,507 miles with no defects recorded. This pass followed a failure just one week prior at 59,505 miles, which suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately to meet testing standards. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the car currently maintains a high mechanical standard without obvious ongoing failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,719 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 3,655 miles, while it covered 4,839 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 tests. This consistency suggests light short-distance use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low mileage on older vehicles often invites age-related degradation such as perished rubber components or seized calipers if the car sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age rather than mechanical wear, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and exhaust system which are common on this model. Given the low usage, inspect the suspension bushes for cracks and ensure the brake discs are not surface rusted from inactivity. The recent failures in September 2024 and 2025 without recorded defects in the pass report likely indicate simple items like light bulbs or minor fluid leaks that were quickly addressed before the retest.
