2018 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · LK18 UPR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 7 July 2025 at 52,000 miles where no defects were recorded. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes, the car consistently meets the minimum standard after remedial work. This suggests the previous owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures, such as bulbs or minor component adjustments, rather than allowing mechanical or structural issues to persist. The mileage progression is consistent with light urban use for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 8,156 miles, followed by roughly 10,900 miles in the subsequent year leading to the July 2025 test. This slight increase in usage does not indicate an abnormal rate of wear on the drivetrain or suspension, and the low total mileage suggests that components like suspension bushes and rubber mounts may be reaching age rather than mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the records provided do not detail the mechanical reasons for these declines. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are stationary for extended periods. You should also inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches to ensure that no surface rust has progressed into significant structural corrosion, despite the clean test results.
