2018 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LD68 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 September 2025 at 27,254 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. Despite a single failure in September 2024, the car has returned to a clean passing status, suggesting that any issues identified at that time were successfully rectified before the subsequent test. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 18,522 miles and the September 2025 test at 27,254 miles, the car covered only 9,732 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by age-related decay rather than high mileage. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories, the tester should check for suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, as these perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the failure in 2024 at 23,286 miles, it is also worth verifying that the specific repair for that failure was a permanent fix rather than a temporary patch.
