2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LP63 KUG

This Citroën C1 has maintained a consistent MOT pass history across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 29 January 2026 at 48,974 miles confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failings in any of the five annual tests—spanning January 2022 to January 2026—indicates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the record does not reveal whether any minor wear items (such as wiper blades or interior lights) were addressed between tests. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks suggests no hidden mechanical degradation, but the lack of advisories also means no proactive maintenance warnings were documented. The recorded mileage of 48,974 miles over 12 years—approximately 4,081 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The incremental mileage increases between tests (e.g., 3,573 miles between January 2022 and January 2023, and 3,476 miles between January 2025 and January 2026) imply consistent but minimal driving rather than aggressive wear. This pattern could indicate the vehicle was stored for extended periods, potentially accelerating issues like suspension corrosion or battery degradation, though no such failures appear in the MOT history. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components not covered by the test. Focus on the suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of dry rot or excessive play, as prolonged inactivity can exacerbate rubber degradation. The brakes, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for long stretches. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as low mileage does not preclude rust progression in damp conditions. Finally, verify the battery health and charging system, as underused batteries degrade faster and may have been overlooked in maintenance.
