2008 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MC08 YVL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, with the most recent test in January 2024 at 157,826 miles resulting in a clean pass. While the history shows two instances of failure in 2022 and early 2024, the vehicle consistently passed on subsequent re-tests. This pattern suggests that the previous owners were proactive in addressing immediate defects once identified by the tester, rather than allowing mechanical issues to accumulate into a state of neglect. At 18 years old, the recorded 157,826 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 8,700 miles. This consistent rate aligns with typical UK mileage for a small city car. The data shows a significant increase in activity between November 2021 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 28,000 miles in three years. However, the mileage accumulation has slowed since the January 2024 test, meaning the car has likely sat for extended periods or been used for shorter trips over the last two and a half years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, given the vehicle's age and mileage. The record does not list specific recurring mechanical faults, but the failures indicate past issues with items like worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. Inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as these are common failure points for this model. Because the last MOT was over eighteen months ago, checking the rubber components for cracking and fluid leaks is essential to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
