2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · LP65 AAU

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 27 August 2025 at 76,358 miles recording no defects. Prior tests in 2024, 2023 and 2022 also passed cleanly with no advisories logged. The only anomaly is a failed test on the same date, 27 August 2025, at 76,344 miles with no defects recorded, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault given the immediate pass fourteen miles later. Annual mileage averages around 7,600 miles against the vehicle's ten-year age, a typical use profile for a 2016 supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 51,905 miles in August 2022, 59,926 in September 2023, 67,408 in September 2024, and 76,358 by August 2025. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear. The clean pass history across four consecutive years suggests the previous keeper kept basic servicing current, though the absence of any advisories means wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs and exhaust corrosion were either within limits or not scrutinised closely enough to flag. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but does not confirm these areas were examined in depth. Check the front coil springs and steering linkage for fatigue, and verify brake caliper operation given the age. The twin test entries on 27 August 2025 warrant a glance at the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure was administrative and not a掩盖 of omitted defects. Given the sparse but clean history, treat the car as mechanically sound on paper yet unproven on consumables beyond test-day condition. Prioritise a pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth, wiper blades and fluid levels, and request service invoices to corroborate the implied care pattern before completion.
