2018 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MK68 DHD

The 2018 Citroen C1 presents a stable and sound mechanical history, with its most recent MOT passing on 26 August 2025 at 63,840 miles. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, showing no recurring defects or escalating mechanical issues across the recorded tests. A failed test on the same date at the identical mileage with no recorded defects suggests a minor, swiftly rectified issue or a procedural retest, but the subsequent clean pass confirms the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards. Since this test occurred nearly a year ago, a buyer must account for the standard wear and tear accumulated over the intervening months. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical urban or suburban use for an eight-year-old city car. Between the September 2022 test at 41,310 miles and the September 2023 test at 51,801 miles, the car covered 10,491 miles. The following year, from September 2023 to August 2024, it added 5,878 miles, and from August 2024 to August 2025, it recorded zero miles. This recent plateau in mileage over the last twelve months indicates the vehicle has either been standing for long periods or used only for very short, local journeys. Such low recent usage can sometimes lead to deterioration of rubber components or battery health rather than mechanical wear. With zero advisories or defects recorded in the MOT history, the vehicle has no documented recurring faults to scrutinise. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as the lack of recent mileage accumulation raises the possibility of prolonged standing. Tyre sidewall cracking and brake disc corrosion are common issues when a car sits unused, so checking the condition of the tyres and the state of the braking system is essential. Inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the condition of the suspension bushes will provide a complete picture of how the vehicle has been maintained during its recent stationary period.
