2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · LT11 FLE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 24 2026 at 96,213 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. Specifically, the failures in January 2026 at 96,148 miles and February 2025 at 93,118 miles suggest that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when prompted by a test failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance to rectify defects prior to the appointment. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2024 and February 2025, where only 3,138 miles were covered in over thirteen months. However, the usage increased recently, with 3,092 miles recorded between February 2025 and March 2026. This relatively low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. While the most recent recorded test showed no defects, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on common Citroen C1 failure points that may have emerged. Check the structural integrity of the rear sills and subframe, as these areas are prone to corrosion rust even when mileage is low. Given the history of reactive repairs, inspect the suspension bushes for tearing and check the brake system for binding calipers or seized sliders, which are frequent causes of immediate MOT failures in this model.
