2016 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MH65 AEF

The 2016 Citroen C1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent January 2026 test at 47,490 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance pattern. No advisories or failures appear in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. This stability implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the absence of recorded issues does not rule out hidden wear in non-MOT-checked components. The mileage progression shows gradual annual increases, from 24,703 miles in 2022 to 47,490 in 2026, averaging approximately 4,749 miles per year. This low annual usage aligns with the vehicle’s age, potentially indicating infrequent use or periods of inactivity. The 2025 test at 42,243 miles revealed no issues, and the 2024 test at 35,034 miles similarly passed without defects. The sparse data lacks anomalies, but the low mileage raises questions about potential component aging, particularly in rubber seals, hoses, and suspension bushes, which may degrade without regular operation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these can deteriorate during prolonged inactivity. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, even though no issues were recorded. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the MOT data, so a thorough undercarriage inspection for rust or damage is advisable. The absence of tyre tread advisories suggests regular checks, but the low mileage may mask uneven wear patterns. Overall, the MOT history confirms compliance but does not eliminate the need for a detailed pre-purchase inspection.
