2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MF59 FYR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 July 2024 at 144,258 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently secured passes without recorded advisories or recurring defects. While the record shows failures immediately preceding the 2023 and 2024 passes, the lack of documented defects on the passing certificates suggests any issues were rectified prior to the re-tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. A significant interval of 17,103 miles occurred between the January 2022 test at 97,380 miles and the July 2023 test at 114,483 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly 30,000 miles in two years, reaching the July 2024 inspection. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which often helps keep mechanical components and seals from seizing out. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly given the vehicle's age and high mileage. Although the MOT history is clean of advisories, the mileage necessitates a close check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc surfaces for signs of excessive wear or pitting. Monitor for fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox, as the MOT does not assess the overall integrity of sealed systems or the health of the drivetrain components.
